<<Google's new Web browser eventually will support add-ons and user scripts à la Firefox Add-ons and Greasemonkey, Google engineer Ojan Vafai said during a panel discussion on the future of Web browsers at Web 2.0 Expo in New York on Friday.

"There's two different kinds of add-ons," Vafai said. "The Firefox things extend your browser, so to speak, and then there are user scripts. We intend to do both of those in Google Chrome." Greasemonkey's founder, Aaron Boodman, actually works on the Google Chrome team.>>

Another quote in the article points to Google trying to make some of the add-on features more stable than what's currently done in Firefox (I uninstalled most add-ons in Firefox due to that instability).

Hopefully the add-ons come after it gets released on Mac and Linux. Can't let the windows users have all the fun. :)
