Where's the source code for this new stuff? Since chromium, webkit, etc, etc are all open source.

Awesomium source code is available at their site. It's licensed under LGPL so it can be linked in any product unmodified without releasing any source code. If they go and modify the browser somehow then they have to release source codes for their modifications.

If we can get on the forums, will it still let us post with alts while playing mains, or will it detect which character you're on?

So...
1 - When is this coming? I have a site that will be getting a face lift because of it.
2 - Will the stack of utilities be made available to the public? or will we have to hunt for them?

One question: as I understand, the in-game chat channels use IGB too (with restrictions). Will the chat screens use the new browser engine?

Originally by: Arkady Sadik While a user can make a site "trusted" to show it all sorts of stuff, the site can not trust the user at all - all the headers can be faked easily.
Some way to actually authenticate the user (possibly by providing an expiring cookie number that you can verify with the API?) would be really nice.
Sisi needs a Test API Server to go with this. This would make IGB-web apps, and in fact all third-party apps much easier to develop as well as allow the third-party tools community to help with evaluating future API changes before they went live (hint).
Robustness and speed of the Test API Server needn't be high priority, of course, but having something would be a major improvement.

First, I want to say thank you. I have waited for this day to come for a long time now.
Originally by: Arkady Sadik A bit more elaborate answer:
Quote: We also want to hear from the authors of IGB-driven sites - what can we do to make your lives easier?
The IGB has a number of nice features, but the main problem for me usually is authentication. While a user can make a site "trusted" to show it all sorts of stuff, the site can not trust the user at all - all the headers can be faked easily.
Some way to actually authenticate the user (possibly by providing an expiring cookie number that you can verify with the API?) would be really nice.
Also, getting rid of the requirement for the typeid in character showinfo links (or actually, all CharacterID showinfo links ;-)) would be nice - right now, you can already just use any typeid, like Sebiestor or whichever, for any character, so requiring the typeid is annoying at best.
Something to authenticate users is on top of my wish list as well.

I really don't like this. Eve is a game and a game should not be a browser.
If this supports flash, javascript and all the nice tools, it will also support many flash and java exploits and the other nice things like redirecting of links and tracking scripts and cookies.
Sooner or later the first moron will be redirected to a nice site with an keylogging or tracking script.
Also I do not trust any google app for privacy concerns and that applies to CCP as well while they provide a browser. If the browser supports this, the players will use it to surf the web besides playing eve and whit an integrated browser nobody can really say what it tracks and what not and what CCP could do, does and does not with the data.
If users can use this browser to their hearts content, one will soon find sites which violate any moral, political or other views users hold. Will CCP then start filtering? Or block sites?
Will Eve need access to port 80 then? Of course its blocked for eve, since its a game and a game should not have access to any resource more than the absolute minimum necessary to run this.
tl;dr
Its already a nightmare with all those players who just want to play and don't care about securing or maintaining their system and I really believe it wont get better with this.

As good as these changes might be, I think there are MUCH MORE IMPORTANT things necessary to be fixed in Eve first.
The whole pos, corp, alliance interfaces for example. Alchemy, sov system, supercaps, epic arcs and and and. Fix the GAME STUFF first I would say (yeah, I know, some of that stuff will be tackled in the winter expansion).
But yeah, the changes for the browser sounds pretty okay. Especially considering the upcomming Eve-COSMOS I would think the browser would play some important part there also.
Good changes, interesting reading. But I am confused about the priorities for Eve by CCP

CCP Pleognost mentions that site contents are delivered to you in a 3d surface format. Does that put us closer to player driven content on the billboards ? Maybe adds in a html format that are then rendered on the billboard.

Although this seems to be done well this time and will be a nice feature, I would rather not have a browser in-game and put all the time that was spent into creating this to be put into other parts of improving EVE. Alt+Tab is not that hard.

yep. This. Exactly. Mining ops payouts and similar would be much easier; for those corps like ours that already use the api to track ore brought in, it would be the next natural progression.

Sweet, now I can launch hedgehogs while sitting in stations.
Eve just got ten times cooler. Well, 2 times cooler, and 5 times that when this is actually live (and working...here's hoping for a relatively bug-free launch).

Has any thought been given to improving the built-in authentication for 3rd party sites?
The current Headers in the IGB are basically worthless for security, because you can't trust them, they are not signed in any way, and can be faked.

Ok, All I can say is WIN, and GIVE IT TO US NOW!!!!!
And Can we have a Full List of what you will and will not allow it to Support or will it be able to handle anything that a Normal Browser can? and if that's the Case you have just added awesome-sauce to the Game as that I will Just Load eve and Browse the web while Mining, and not have to Alt tab, Hell I can actually Run the game as a Full Screen and not Windowed to make Alt tabbing faster. --

Thank you, CCP, for increasing the likely downtime of my PC and increasing the complexity of my maintenance on a personal computer in my off-hours.
I think that if I had any desire to install Chrome, I'd probably have already done it. The fact that I haven't, and wouldn't, thanks to Google's creeping software intrusions, is a fact apparently lost on the minds of whatever marketing exec got the bonus for signing onto force feeding all of us the Chrome browser. Any chance your techs are going to handle the interaction issues that arise, or reimburse us for the maintenance cycle?
I've lived through some of your more ill-conceived pushes. I'll live through more I'm sure. This is one of them.

Logging in to officially announce I want to make sweet sweet love to CCP Fallout if this gets implemented. In fact, I shall dedicate an ingame website to the awesomeness of CCP Fallout and collect autographs of fellow EVE players who wish to join in on the sweet lovemaking. --------------------------------------------------- Recruitment thread |

This made me leap for joy inside.
To the poster a couple above: they're not installing Google Chrome. They're using the Chromium/WebKit framework to build a new IGB. WebKit has its roots with KDE, long before Google came along. I'm curious as to how you think this will impact on your regular PC maintenance. ---------- EVE Markets - global price trends at your fingertips |

And so does Team Slartibartfast and CCP Pleognost, who's newest dev blog clues us in on what exactly a Moondoggie is. Gidgets or gadgets or something like that. Enjoy!
I have no clue what you just said in that blog.

Dont worry about this newb. He definitely doesn't know squat about some's of chromes awesome ability (multiple process window is 1 example).
Except that, I really you guys will work on the performance of the browser and then, not before or at the same time, work on adding features like the ship fitting copy like you said.
