I beleive it does have CRX support now, at least I was able to install the Windows Chrome extension (of course nothing happened) but it is shown as an installed extension. I guess all I need is a way to compile the NPAPI bits for Linux... I'm sure I could figure out the packaging.
Try loading: chrome://extensions/ (I'm currently running 4.0.245.1) Chrome + Linux + GWT is the holy grail I've been waiting for ever since I heard about OOPHM. Oh... and I should add that a general Linux build of the NPAPI plugin would be of great value to me in using with custom Webkit applications on Linux using the WebKitGtk port. It loads plugins as .so files just as Firefox would.
