None of them install cleanly, and they all suck in different ways.

Is it just me?

There certainly are some poorly implemented plugins, but many of them are very, very good. I can put my hand on my heart and say that the following work absolutely flawlessly:

Adblock Plus
Foxmarks
Google Toolbar
Hide Menubar
IE Tab

I really do have zero problems with them, they just work. Using Chrome has brought home to me how much I need Adblock Plus, I'd forgotten how many ads there were on the net.
