The JS JIT already works on ARM:
Quoted from http://code.google.com/p/v8/
You can bet this will be backported to WebKit which is also ported to ARM already. So that it can be used in S60browser, Safari, and all the other browsers using WebKit on ARM.
Question is when.
Those folks who port it to Ubuntu probably don't care about ARM. They just want to get Chrome on their Ubuntu x86 desktop first.
V8 is written in C++ [...]
V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262, 3rd edition, and runs on Windows XP and Vista, Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), and Linux systems that use IA-32 or ARM processors.

Every browser/rendering_engine tab/window different PID is interesting from 2 perspectives: 1) security (like a sandbox) 2) stability (won't bring whole browser down).
The former is important because mobile platform has these features:
* GSM/GPRS (3G); dialer/sms/mms/data scam target
* Device behind NAT; no services listening on ports; not a vector
* Browser is a main interaction with the web and therefore also a main target for evil people.
* We previously ran vulnerable Gecko engine (and probably Flash as well) on Maemo.
Stability wise, my MicroB on N810/Maemo4 crawled (usually with swap) and/or crashed (usually without swap) sometimes. All windows gone. Not good.
The Linux/ARM instructions to build Chromium are here http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxChromiumArm they are written for Ubuntu/ARM so must keep scratchbox in mind they're still useful though because contains changes to be applied to Chromium built options specific to ARM. Haven't tried yet.

They don't have linux support yet... ARM probably even after that.
