Source Google Chrome And Firefox Extensions Differences

We all know that the Google Chrome development team is planning to add extensions to the web browser. Extensibility seems to be one of the key features that many users, especially Firefox users, except from a web browser. A developer's build of the Google browser was released with basic extension support a while ago but it is not clear yet when the public will be able to download a version of the Google browser supporting extensions.
It might be interesting however to take a evaluate how the system differs in the two web browsers. The Google System blog published a short post and Google Docs presentation that details how Google Chrome will be handling browser extensions.
 
I like how each extension is a separate process like how the tabs are. Nice to hear the extension can't crash the browser too.
