It's my understanding that Google Chrome already runs in a sandbox, by default. No additional software needed. And not only the application itself, but each window, whether stand-alone or tabbed, runs in its own separate sandbox. That's what makes it the "safest" browser around. Or have I misunderstood all the marketing hype?
