A Google developer who works on Chrome posted some interesting information on Shacknews: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=19972940#item_19972940

"We continue to work on our own extensions framework. There's still a lot to do for "version 1" but it's progressing fast. Extension auto-update is just starting to land so you won't have to manually remove/re-install extensions to update them (yay).

Mac and Linux are also progressing fast. I can't say when we hope to start getting alpha-quality versions into the Dev channel but we're hoping for Real Soon Now. They're still obviously rough but the teams are pushing them forward fast."
