As of ~4PM PST today, Google Chrome 1.0+ on Windows is an officially
supported browser. That means Chrome users will no longer get the
unsupported browser message, and the plugin and API should work just
as they would in other supported browsers.

****NOTE****
There is one open bug that is important to take note of, as it may
require a slight change to your site:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7793

The issue is that Chrome temporarily hangs when alert/prompt dialogs
are opened in an API callback or event handler routine. The workaround
is to wrap all calls to alert or prompt in a setTimeout, as is
demonstrated in the Fetch Bad KML sample:
