Chrome To Get Extensions – Just Not Yet
Even though we have quickly come to enjoy using Google Chrome after its launch yesterday, we still miss a couple of things from Firefox that Google’s browser just doesn’t offer yet. Most importantly, Google doesn’t yet have any architecture in place that would allow developers to program extensions for it. For Firefox, the extension ecology that developed around it has a been a major contributor to its success and many users who might prefer the speed
During the launch, however, Sundar Pichai, a VP for product management at Google, promised that Google would eventually start supporting extensions and stressed that it was high on Google’s to-do list for Chrome. For developers, it would obviously be nice if Google used an extension architecture similar to Firefox’s. That, after all, would make porting extensions over to Chrome a lot easier. So far, however, Google has not made any announcements about the details of the extension API.
