Google Chrome OS To Launch Within A Week

I'm still hooked on my solid collection of Firefox extensions. If this is indeed an "OS" in any sense of the word, I would expect it to support switching Chrome for Firefox.

If not, it's pretty much DOA to me.

Somehow I don't think the target audience is hackers who with large collections of firefox plugins. I see them targeting netbooks and tablets for the average user as well as a lightweight browser centric OS for schools, libraries and users who don't need 'software'

The Chrome browser is supposed to support extensions in it's next (major) version.

It's actually there to test now, if you don't mind using unstable versions. You need to switch the dev channel[1] and start the browser with --enable-extensions switch. There's a number of sample extensions already[2].

I've been running the dev channel builds for a while now and never had any major issues, only the occasional minor issue.
