What is “(program)” in the function column of the Chrome debugger?

(program) is Chrome itself, the root of the tree calling all other code...it's there because the jump from native code to JavaScript, resource loading, etc. has to start somewhere :)

You can see examples of the treeview in the Chrome developer tool docs.
