Why Chrome has No NoScript

Could someone post some meaningful numbers of the percentage of users that browse the web with extensions like AdBlock and/or NoScript?

I know a lot of people that run AdBlock, but outside the hardcore techie crowd I know very few who run NoScript.

Anecdotal observation doesn't mean much, so numbers would be appreciated.

Also, NoScript requires a lot (relatively speaking, of course) of interactively applied knowledge about web technologies. I'm fairly certain the people who use it make up a very small segment of Google's target audience.

Last time I measured, on a largely firefox userbase, adBlock was used by about 6%. Not enough really to bother about.

I'd expect the number who use NoScript to be 1-2% if that.

Note this is out of a mainly firefox userbase. For the general web those %'s would be far lower.

I think a fair amount of early adopters who use chrome/chromium also probably use a fair amount of firefox extensions too.
