Author GreaseMonkey helps to make extensions for Chrome
One of the Google Chrome programmers told how they and their colleagues are trying to implement support for extensions a la Firefox. Speaking at the Web 2.0 Expo conference, Ojan Vafai assured that this is one of the top priorities, and the Google Chrome team is working on this issue, including Aaron Boodman, author of the famous GreaseMonkey extension under Firefox.
The main problem is to preserve the guaranteed stability of the Chrome platform when adding extensions from third-party developers. According to Wafai, Firefox has problems with this, but they don’t want to repeat the same mistakes.
By the way, Mozilla technical director Brendan Ike also spoke at the conference, who admitted that Chrome implemented “very interesting tricks with isolation of processes in tabs”, and they are closely watching the development to improve the security of Firefox. The Internet Explorer architect who spoke after him didn’t praise Chrome, but said that it’s currently difficult to make secure extensions (they can be challenging to write today).
