Chrome doesn't use OpenSSL. It uses NSS. At least on Linux and Mac; I believe it uses the system-native crypto libraries on Windows.

It doesn't use it in the browser but it does use it for tools relating to SPDY. See:

http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/net/tools/fl...

Regardless, neither OpenSSL or NSS have NPN in a release version. NSS doesn't seem to have merged the patch yet: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547312

Ah, indeed. Thanks for the pointer!
