The New Google+ Photo Editor
Google+ had a photo editor that used Flash, worked in any desktop browser and it was powered by Picnik. Google changed this and switched to a new photo editor that's based on the Snapseed mobile app, but the new version doesn't use HTML5. It's a Native Client app.
That's the reason why the new photo editor only works in Chrome. No other major browser supports Native Client and it's likely that won't change in the near future. This is probably the first feature of a Google web app that uses Native Client and I have the feeling that many others will follow.
So what's new? The new photo editor has most of the features of the Snapseed app, so it's likely that Snapseed has been ported to Native Client.
"Auto Enhance already makes the photos you add to Google+ look great. Now you can customize and fine tune these adjustments if you have a different look in mind. Selective adjust lets you make edits to specific parts of your image, so you can make that summer sky look even more blue without affecting the beach in the foreground. Filters like Vintage, Drama, Retrolux or Black and White give your photos a new look. Add the finishing touch with a frame."
I've noticed that more and more Chrome apps and extensions use Native Client: Google+ Photos app, the Office Viewer and Editor. Porting mobile apps to Native Client doesn't make the web better because these apps only work in Chrome.
"The Native Client open-source technology is designed to run native compiled code securely inside browsers. Native Client puts web applications on the same playing field as local applications, providing the raw speed needed to compete with traditional software like 3D games, video editing, and other applications. Native Client also gives languages like C and C++ (and eventually others as well) the same level of portability and safety that JavaScript provides on the web today," explains Google.
Native Client is great for apps that can't be built using web technologies, but it looks like Google starts to rely too much on Native Client. Google managed to build a powerful office suite using web apps that work in any modern browser and it now ports a mobile Office editor to Native Client. There are many HTML5 photo editors that work well (for example: Aviary, which powers the Flickr photo editor), but Google chose to port a mobile photo editor to Native Client. I think that's the wrong path to follow. Chrome was supposed to make the web better, not to become an operating system that runs its own apps.
Aviary has most of the features of the new Google+ photo editor, but it runs in any modern browser. On the other hand, a company which built web apps for editing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, sites can't build a web app for editing photos that doesn't use Flash or Native Client.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Google’s Snapseed team (formerly Nik Software), but today we find out what they’ve been working on: building some sophisticated new photo editing features into Google+. Back in May, the company unveiled a feature called Auto Awesome that made its best guess at how your uploaded photos should look, but now the team is putting photographers in the driver’s seat, giving them the keys to a handful of really useful image adjustments.
""Standard sliders are available for things like brightness, contrast, and saturation, as well as highlight and midtone contrast controls. You can also make local adjustments with a control point interface that will be immediately familiar to anyone that’s used Snapseed or Nik’s other products like Viveza or Silver Efex Pro. Snapseed filters like Grunge and Drama are also available for you to play around with.
The new editing features have been ported to Google+’s iOS and Android apps as well, writes Google’s Josh Haftel. Back on the desktop, the new features rely on Google Native Client's support for native code, so Safari and IE users are out of luck, but getting these kinds of image editing tools in the browser for free is definitely worth the download. That said, you'll still have to decide if built-in Snapseed features are a compelling enough reason to store your photos on Google+. Haftel notes that the new photo stuff is rolling out slowly, so if you don’t see it right away, you’ll need to hang tight.
