What Hacker News says

The poster is the author of Kiwi browser, which unfortunately is closed source [0], but I have reason to believe he is familiar - as I am for the Bromite project - with all the (sometimes shady) internals of the Chromium codebase; it is indeed off-topic to discuss the header issue there but I would say that there is no explicit intention to derail it (and no advantage), just incorrect netiquette.
