This is an interesting article from the Google operating system blog about plugin support in the Google Chrome Browser:

With this approach however I have to ask myself, will Chrome ever exceed the abilities of Firefox?

It'd be nice if it did, but it seems like Chrome will always be in a lagging position, unless Google can really add something noticeably ground breaking...

    I don’t think Google Chrome is meant to be successful. I think they made it just to show Mozilla some cool features – hence why they made it open source, and I can’t remember where, but somewhere they basically said “we want the cool features of Chrome to be in Firefox”, but not in those exact words heh.
