Coming Soon: Google Chrome Extensions
Google has already indicated that it plans to offer a platform for Chrome browser extensions, but now we finally have what looks like a firm date on when that will arrive. Apparently, a Google developer conference scheduled for May 27th will include a session on developing extensions for Chrome, which leads Google Operating System to conclude that we’ll see the extensions platform go live on or before that date.
The Chrome team has already published documentation outlining general goals and principles for how they believe the extension system should operate. High on the list of reasons that adding extensions to Chrome is important is that it will make the browser more attractive to “users coming from other browsers who are used to certain extensions that they can’t live without.”
