Extensions in Chrome/Chromium have come a long way in the last year. Very easy to write and use (if you know what you are doing and have some savvy) . I think what end users are likely waiting for and may cause the "confusion" is a direct user interface (like greasemonkey or add-ons in Firefox) that allows a user to easily install and use the extensions/scripts. Is a UI slated for dev version 5? I was told not to expect one in dev, version 4 some time ago. Thanks!
