New iteration of Apple’s operating system for desktops would include that a feature to allow quick access to the Internet surfing without logging back to the system when it is locked.

Apple is introducing to its new coming OS X Lion desktop OS a browser-only mode called "Restart to Safari.” With this feature appearing as an option on Lion's lock screen users will be able to access to a sandboxed version of the Safari browser. However, users won’t access their desktop applications or other files from this mode.

The new feature is seen as a serious factor to dim the sales prospects for Google's Chrome OS-based Chromebooks.
