Update 1: Google is more or less ready with the initial prototype of Chromium on Mac OS X you can create windows and tabs just like the Windows version of Chrome but the mac version uses a Cocoa UI layer on top. Will updates this page when the official mac release of Google Chrome is out.

...Google Chrome already came out with the the stable official mac release like 4 days ago...your article is nearly 2 years ago.
I did some searching, and what I found seemed very similar -- that there is a large amount of the Mac codebase that's in C++ and Carbon, and the UI segment is written in Cocoa. So it's not a pure Cocoa app. I didn't find any detailed technical analyses of the Mac version. You probably would have heard about it if there was a subsequent re-write of the C++ segment to make all of Chrome:Mac Cocoa.
Well, it's a fact it's Cocoa UI which is what I assumed you meant.
