Google Chrome is lightning-fast, holds over 3% of the browser market, and will soon become an operating system. Yet while it has several decisive advantages over Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, and other browsers, there is one thing it does not have->extensions.
We’ve known that extensions were coming to Chrome since February, but so far only the developer version of Chrome has extensions. Here’s a look at some of our favorites.
It now looks like the wait for third party Chrome Extensions is nearing an end. Today, the search behemoth announced that it has opened up the Google Chrome extension gallery for submissions.
The process for submission is simple: log in with your Google account, zip your file code and your extension’s icon, submit supplementary info like a description or a YouTube video, and you’re done! The process is automatic for almost every extension: ones that include an NPAPI component (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface) or content scripts that affect “file://” URLs will require additional information and review.

We’re one step closer to extensions within Chrome. This could spark a whole new development ecosystem and spur new competition in the web browser space. At the very least, Chrome wouldn’t lose so badly to Firefox in our weekly reader vote.
