Any "semi-official" word yet on whether or not Chrome will support Firefox extensions? I'd love to be able to have the Blank Canvas Gmail Signatures add-on available for Chrome users without having to do major conversions.

Awesome! I was about to say now you can have your own Wikipedia entry but I forgot its print only no matter how popular the source is on the web. Wikipedia's standards for "notability" are kinda stupid Just look at this article.

I like Chrome and appreciate how fast it is. However, without extensions AND Mac support I will not make it my primary browser. So far, I use the "Application Shortcuts" to access a few WEB 2.0 applications with it - and that's the extent of my use. Once they support Mac and extensions, I can see myself reconsidering.

I use Chrome Heavily when in Windows, I am interested in extensions. I just hope the Extensions do not slow the speed down. Speed is the only reason to Choose Chrome over firefox.

Ok, you may not have been exactly right, but really, it's June 7 and the Dev version has minimal extension support! Kudos!

I don't like chrome for it can't enlarge text of websites, I have to use Mother's Magnifier to do it.

Google chrome es un gran navegador, lo evaluo día tras día con mis clientes y quedan satisfecho.
La plataforma sobre la que se basa es muy solida y la compatibidad con microsoft es sorprendente.
Los felicito y sigo apostando a google for ever. Tengo la camiseta puesta desde Argentina.

I don't know if they are going to support them directly, I would guess probably not. Firefox runs on the Gecko rendering engine and the Trace Monkey Javascript Engine, while Chrome uses the Webkit rendering engine and the V8 javascript engine, so I doubt it will be plug and play, however back in December, Google Announced a list of Firefox Extensions that they wanted to support, so I know they want to target the same developer audience. My guess is their extensions would work similar to the way Firefox Extensions work, but that's purely speculation.

ChromeMan makes a good counter point in his blog response to my post, I've posted my counter-argument as a comment on his blog, check it out.

It seems obvious to me that some extensions (At least) will in fact slow down Chrome, but like Firefox, installing extensions is your choice, so yes some will slow it down (most in fact) but sometimes the usefulness of a particular extension outweighs the speed degradation, for example, Firebug is an extension I use so much that I keep it on, even though it is well known to slow down almost any web page as long as it is on. It is just too useful to let go of.
