Chrome Gets Plugins: How to Write a Chrome Extension in Three Easy Steps

It'd be nice if we could use the correct terms for these things. I know that I'm probably picking nits, but there's a difference between extensions and plugins.<p>My simplified definition: plugins run native code, extensions run Javascript. Flash if a plugin, Firebug in an extension.

Still doesn't offer any <i>real</i> extension functionality; it's more a glorified, built-in version of Greasemonkey. This precludes such popular and useful Firefox extensions such as Firebug, Foxmarks, AdBlock, or just about any other extension besides Greasemonkey itself...

Greasemonkey-esque functionality is the main thing I've been missing in Chrome, so this looks appealing.

I can't wait to see how many people pick the unique number 00123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF0123456

Does anyone know how to add a right click menu item so I can invoke a external download tool for URLs?

Anyone switched to the developer-channel version of Chrome yet?

can somebody write a plugin to port Chrome to other OSes?<p>Note: i'm being sarcastic
