I think you're over-optimistic. AFAIK Mozilla extensions are based on
the very nature of their architecture, notably based on XUL for writing
GUIs. Porting extensions to Chromium, which is using WebKit, would imply
almost complete rewrites. I for one use some niche extensions such as
Zotero that won't get a Chromium equivalent for a long time.

Sure, but are there problems with Epiphany either ? It's pure GTK+, and
fully working thanks to support form GNOME.
