Well first I have to firmly state that as it stands this is just a rumour! None of this is confirmed, but I thought I would share some recent experiences.
Following on from that, I have to extend my thanks to the people on the European English PlayStation Forums!
So, I'll start this story with a thread from a person who just wanted to say to everyone he/she had a great experience with the customer service from Sony in the UK.

As you can see, the member in question is clearly happy with his/her service. But for those of who either didn't see it or just want to skip to the point, I'll quote you this. The following quote is from the member XJaguar12X, "We then talked about new features and he told me that a rumour around the office was about a PS3 browser upgrade with Chrome."
So at first, I was skeptical. I think you have to be skeptical with all the rumours flying around in the gaming industry. So I let it rest for a bit, until a recent thread came alight offering the question, Google Chrome on PS3?
So this led me to a second link, a link from the BBC.

So the news article reports on Google signing a deal with Sony.
So, where does this bring us? When you put the two together, in my eyes you have a rumour with a bit of weight behind it. A rumour nevertheless, but maybe a rumour that could at least have some potential of being true.
Make of it what you will, but I thought I would just share these thoughts.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I hope we do get chrome.
The PS3 browser Is ok but
chrome would be so much better!
Chrome on PS3 is almost a guarantee, with the way Sony & Google have been holding hands lately.I'd say it's more of a matter of when, not if.
Well chrome is a light browser .. it doesn't eat resources, or has a memory leak.
on limited memory or portable devices, this browser would normally be a no-brainer
I hope so since Chrome is mah favorite.
It is more then that, Sony will be shipping phones with the Android OS and of course you have Google TV in 2011 with Sony being a major partner on that. With the PS3's install base Google TV and Chrome could get a huge market share boost overnight. That and the Life With Playstation is powered by Google, also the Facebook stuff as well. It would be a shock to me if we did not get any of this down the road. You would think if there TVs can do it the PS3 would be able to as well. I have my fingers crossed for a GamesCom announcement regarding this being that is where we saw the last years most major FW update. That and the stuff with FW Patching to make it faster would make it more easy to keep the browser uptoday and other applications assuming it is true.
