Draft Design Doc posted by Ryan Sleevi regarding Chrome migrating from
NSS to OpenSSL:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ML11ZyyMpnAr6clIAwWrXD53pQgNR-DppMYwt9XvE6s/edit?pli=1
"Switching to OpenSSL, however, has the opportunity to bring significant
performance and stability advantages to iOS, Mac, Windows, and ChromeOS
immediately out of the gate. Switching Linux to use OpenSSL will take
longer, due to the desire to continue to support PKCS#11-based smart
card authentication, which will require more work. The biggest risk/cost
to such a switch is no longer being able to help Firefox benefit from
these efforts, nor benefiting from Firefox’s efforts in these areas."
