I was playing around again with my Google Chrome just now and noticed that on the Developer Channel (version 4.0.249.0), a new “jigsaw puzzle” image appearing on the bottom right corner. There was also a notice at the bottom of the browser:
“New! Google Chrome now has extensions and bookmark sync”
Even though we’ve seen the Extensions menu before on Google Chrome, there was never a clearer indication than this, that Google Chrome Extensions’ coming is imminent!
The extensions and jigsaw puzzle link to https://chrome.google.com/extensions but at this stage, it’s just being forwarded to the Google homepage. What a bummer!
If you are already on the Developer channel, you can play around with some Google Chrome Extension samples (which are not very exciting at this stage yet):
- Google Mail Checker
- Subscribe in Feed Reader
- BuildBot monitor
It won’t be long for the official ones then. Let’s hope that it comes quicker than we thought. How to switch to Google Chrome Developer channel?

It’s a week or so I am playing with Chrome plugin with Chrome Dev. If someone interested to play with it then can get a good index on: http://www.chromeextensions.org
As long as it comes soon, i am happy with it
Same here.. and hopefully the community will catch up with nice extensions
Google Chrome got extensions! Finally! They’re released to the public that has the beta version installed (before it was only for developers). Write a post about it Michael! I’ve already installed Gmail notifications, Wave notifications, Facebook notification, Live RSS Bookmark Folders (kinda like in Firefox) and more!
-is happy- Once there’s more extensions, it’s good bye to Firefox forever….
I know, I’ve tweeted it this morning
I was waiting until I came back from work to post about it. Will go live any minute now
Gonna install those lovely extensions and ditch my Firefox temporarily
