As a web developer this is a very cool project. It's a very simple sandbox to develop a custom application or even customize my browsing experience. Being built on the current stable release of Chrome makes it even better.

I've used CEF in the past to implement a browser into an application. It seemed like that project was missing many of the new browser features added to the Chrome browser or took time to arrive in CEF. How does this differ from the way CEF is built?

CEF is packaged as a library that requires embedding in your final app. The standard IO API of Thrust makes it much more leightweight to embed and distribute.
