Google Chrome will support add-ons

with one comment

If the absence of add-ons is stopping you from using Google Chrome as your default browser then here is some good news for you.

Google’s new Web browser eventually will support add-ons and user scripts à la Firefox Add-ons and Greasemonkey, Google engineer Ojan Vafai said during a panel discussion on the future of Web browsers at Web 2.0 Expo in New York on Friday.

“There’s two different kinds of add-ons," Vafai said. "The Firefox things extend your browser, so to speak, and then there are user scripts. We intend to do both of those in Google Chrome." Greasemonkey’s founder, Aaron Boodman, actually works on the Google Chrome team.

That is good news for many waiting to use Google Chrome. But there is no timeline as to when Google Chrome will actually be having add-on support.

Waiting till then….

    it’s funny, the more i use Chrome, the more unstable it seems to get… crashes a lot more, can’t handle sites with flash, hangs every time i close a tab… all that to say, i’m switching back to Firefox
