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.
Resident Evil Requiem first story details, info about Grace Ashcroft and Raccoon City officially revealed.
Son Heung-min Fortnite collaboration confirmed for June 21 with exclusive skin and Snap Ceremony emote bundle.
The Nintendo Switch 2 may receive support for docked mode 4K and 120 Hz output at some point in the future.
hopefully VRR via a firmware update is released for docked play as well (like the PS5 did post release)
Not a knock on Switch 2 but it’s not made for it. Maybe a lower resolution at 120fps or 4k at a low fps but it’s not capable of both.
There's actually a pretty long list of games on PS5 that support 120hz. Even more with 60+hz unlocked, and that isn't even counting PS5 Pro.

Yes, according to the dock teardown. It contains HDMI hardware chip of Realtek RTD2175N that supports 4K 120hz. And the HDMI included on the Switch 2 is HDMI 2.1.
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.
