Chrome - on the up

Google Chrome for Mac will soon support extensions, with the company's latest dev channel release of the browser adding preliminary support.

Chrome for PC's extensions have gone well, with a bustling community offering hundreds of addons.

And now Mac users can try the extensions, although for the time being they will have to install and use the Dev Channel release of Chrome for Mac and download a separate .dmg file.

However, you could just wait until the bugs are ironed out and the Chrome for Mac with the extension support is available.

Growing

Of course, the options for Chrome extensions are not yet at the level of Firefox - which has thousands of useful additions.

But with Google's Chrome OS still onschedule for the end of 2010, the numbers are likely to grow rapidly in the coming months.

1. I'll be installing it this evening as soon as I get home from work. I've been using the PC version with several extensions, and so far it works excellently. It's faster than Firefox as well, which is not bad at all. I don't much like it without the extensions, then it becomes just another browser like Safari. The extensions are the main reason I have been a Firefox user for the last years.
