editing web browser text fields outside: Chrome / Chromium vs Emacs: "Edit with Emacs" Chrome extension

"Edit with Emacs" Chrome extension:

Alex Bennée has written an Edit with Emacs extension for Google Chrome. It's Chrome's answer to Firefox's "It's all text" extension, which makes composing emails, blog posts, and other long-form text in a browser a lot more tolerable.

Looks like the handling of "It's all text" differs quite a bit to that of Edit with Emacs, but I really like Edit with Emacs and I started loving to use it.

A colleague showed me today, how he works with Firefox and Ultraedit, and I was motivated, to find the Chrome way for that.
