Well.. we get many questions regarding plugins support of Google Chrome browser.. What we can tell you now is:

Chrome supports the Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface (NPAPI)
Chrome does not support the embedding of ActiveX controls.
Chrome does not have an extension system such as Mozilla’s XPInstall architecture. This means it doesn’t support plugins as it does Mozilla or Firefox

On September 2 Google launched a beta version of Chrome browser. The software can be downloaded from this location. Google Chrome is set to be the third contender in a new round of “browser wars”, competing with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and its rival Mozilla Firefox.
The main advantages of this products are:
Stability
Each tab will run in its own process.
Speed
The browser is being written with WebKit, the open-source engine at the core of Apple’s Safari and Google’s Android.
Search and user experience
In Chrome, browser tabs will take over the interface, becoming the primary navigational element.
Security
Chrome’s architecture lends itself to secure browsing. Each Web page, or tab, runs in its own process, and is blocked from accessing other processes on the computer.
