This might be a troll, but considering OS X *is* BSD in some way or other, the question is fuzzy.
As for I.E, Microsoft *did* port it to Unix a few years back... proprietary Unix though, not sure if any of them were BSD descendants.

Google will get Chrome on Linux, at this time.. it's using the Win32 API.. it'll take a lot of work..
(
See above about I.E..)
How dedicated they are to ensuring it works well on BSD, unknown.. but they chose the BSD licence, that's some indication right?

I also can't wait to try Midori, would be nice.. I've been using Gecko based browsers out of necessity. (
I also will not enable any of the binary compatibility layers..).
Still, the poller probably included all those options out of fairness... some wackos use BSD on servers, not workstations.
