It would be wonderful if Apple virtualized the UIWebView process so it could safely use nitro. Not only would it help Chrome (not that I bet Apple cares :), but also a huge number of applications. And, if apps were fully virtualized, it could possibly open up new, interesting possibilities that have been heretofore deemed unsafe.

It does indeed help a large number of apps (though more and more are going full native since the Facebook app drama).

Jailbreakers have had this for a while now with Nitrous, a tweak which unlocks the Nitro engine to all apps.

But virtualized would be slower for everybody, right?
