Comment 1 for bug 796689

This is unlikely to happen from the chromium side.

Most file handling code is written with cross-platform classes and I don't know how I'd go about making it aware of a VFS. A (very quick) glance over the gio interface makes me doubt we'll ever support it.

Theoretically, if the gnome vfs switched to a fuse filesystem based backend, everything Should Just Work since chromium would be receiving real paths on the filesystem, but there's probably a bunch of details there that I'm not thinking about.
