Google Chrome gets initial support for browser extensions

But now the folks behind Chrome have created a way to wrap JavaScript files that alter the way you interact with web sites into extensions for Chrome.
Right now, extension support is still pretty clunky. You'll need to have Google Chrome 2.0 beta or a recent developer build installed to use extensions. Then you'll have to download and unzip the file to a directory like "c:\myextension" and append the following line to the target properties of your Google Chrome shortcut:
--enable-extensions --load-extension="c:\myextension"
Once that's done, you can use the extension. There's a sample extension available at the bottom of the Google tutorial. Once you've installed it, visit www.google.com to see what it does. You'll probably be quite undewhelmed.
Hopefully we'll see more impressive extensions soon - and an easier way to install and run them,

The Illusionist's Dream is a simple platformer; you play as a magician who needs to get through each level by transforming into any number of animals that you encounter along the way.
Each animal can do different things; the butterfly can obviously fly, but if it encounters a frog, the frog eats it, and you have to start over again. There's also a fox that runs fast and leaps far, but it eats any rabbits that cross its path. That means that, if you may need to be a rabbit later on, you need to take that into account ...

Is it going to support Chrome specific extensions, or the wide array of Firefox extensions already out there?
