Is true Chrome support coming or not? And if so, what is the timeline?
It's hard to believe that such a normally great and normally user-friendly company is unable or unwilling to give it's paying customers any real answers here. I remember being told a few months ago that "the Chrome extension is not on the backburner"... well clearly it has been, so please just be straight with us!!

Current comparative reviews show that Chrome is faster, more stable, more innovative and more user friendly than the competition browsers.
Considering the expected explosive growth of Android devices in the coming year, I think it is reasonable to assume this trend will continue in an accelerated fashion.
Therefore I strongly suggest the Agile team to increase its efforts in the development of the Chrome extention, which has been stuck at version 0.8.1 for quite a long time now.
For the 1Password program I can only give compliments, excellent job on that!

Welcome to the forums! Thank you for the kind words.
We do have an Android app available (which is quite separate from the Chrome browser on the desktop).
The problem with Chrome is that it's extension framework is still in very active development. It has not had a chance to mature in the way that Safari and Firefox have. For example, the 1Password Chrome extension does not fill HTTP auth prompts at this time. This is because the HTTP auth window is not yet accessible to us. That is but one example. Suffice to say that some of our work has been wasted efforts as the framework shifts rapidly. It's not an easy task, but we thank you all for your patience and understanding.
We are all anxious to see this happen. Chrome is much more stable for me than Safari right now (although I do look forward to WebKit2 integration — whenever that might be).

We hope you love it as much as we do.
Cheers!

Thanks for your kind words!
We try to avoid commenting directly on other products. We'd much rather continue to make 1Password be the best it can be its own right.
Are you using the latest version (3.5.0.30785) of the Chrome extension? We would be interested to hear which features you feel we're missing right now. Please let us know.
Thanks!
PS: Logins that don't work are the ones that create a login popup like the Hostgator authentication pages. That's many pages (billing, root, user) that I cannot access using 1Password.

I believe that you are referring to HTTP Authentication windows.
Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to support these HTTP Auth prompts in Chrome.
Please see this bug report. Your vote would help too:
