Add-ons and Greasemonkey-like user scripts

I really miss one thing in Chrome - add-ons or plugins. I have few of them (let's name just Adblock Plus, Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper, Flashblock and Mouse gestures) in my Firefox and it makes this browser a way better product.

You may imagine my joy when I heard that Google will adopt add-ons in Chrome:
Google's new Web browser eventually will support add-ons and user scripts à la Firefox Add-ons and Greasemonkey, Google engineer Ojan Vafai said during a panel discussion on the future of Web browsers at Web 2.0 Expo in New York on Friday.

Saved passwords

It's nice to have buddy who remember your passwords. It's natural that web browser offer you to remember your web passwords. But what if you need to know what are those eleven bullets that password manager automatically entered below your login?

Firefox can show you the passwords in a password manager. The only problem is that it shows all your passwords at once. Not a big problem when you are sitting at home, but what about showing all passwords in a office or in an airport? Tens of people can see your passwords! Not a big deal!

Chrome is more secure even in this one little feature. It stores passwords (when you allow it, of course). It also offer you to show your passwords. But it's showing only the password for account you currently select.

Only problem is that you can not copy that password, but I hope someone will take care on this.
