PSA - Browser Modularization

Hey all,

Chrome is embarking on an effort to modularize //chrome/browser, with specific focus on the Browser and BrowserView god objects.

The effort aims to leave //chrome/browser in a state where browser-scoped feature code is well encapsulated, with dependencies explicitly specified and composed via dependency injection, enabling

• More rapid feature development / iteration

• Significantly improved testing (specifically unit testing)

• Reduced maintenance costs

External contributions are welcome. Anyone interested in assisting with the effort please reach out directly for onboarding info (email preferable).

For details and discussion on the project proposal see Project Bedrock: Simplify class Browser.
