Although it's still under development and you can only use them with the Dev channel version, I find them very promising! oh, and you can install, activate and use them without restarting the browser.

In my case I installed Google Wave, GMail, Facebook and Google Reader notifiers, and here's how you can do it:

Google Chrome with extensions

Follow this easy steps:

1.- Install Google Chrome Dev Channel
2.- Go to Chrome Extensions website and search for your favourite plugins
3.- Click the "Add to Chrome" button, and it's done!

You can also activate, deactivate and setup extensions with the chrome://extensions/ link
