Dainis,

On the one hand, your article gives some interesting information on Chrome extensions.

However, your article reads like an advertisement for Google. From my point of view, it sounds like you are getting paid by them. Everything is ***GUSHING***.

If you don’t want it to sound like an advertisement, you might want to put in a few negatives on Chrome. For example, Chrome does not let you turn off automatic updates in the browser (You can regedit them but regedit is not for casual users). This means that your extensions may stop working when you really need them because Chrome was updated but the extension authors have not yet updated their code to be compatible.

Summary: Your point of this article is on the extensions. Those extensions may stop working at any time when Google does an automatic update on you.

The Template extension provides quick and easy access to lots of information about the current page and environment;

cookies, browser version, directory, encoded, favicon URL, file, fragment, host name, operating system, options, parameters, path, port, protocol, query string, relative, segments, selected text, shortened URL, and title

Just to name a few…

Better yet, using a unique template system it allows users to easily create their own templates making the possibilities endless and includes a built-in step-by-step guide to help you write your own.

Check it out!

Chrome extensions are also *much* easier to write than Firefox extensions. I was having a problem where I kept opening all the same site in different windows, so I pulled up the extension API and was able to bang out an extension in under 6 hours!

Here’s the extension for anyone who’s interested:

Firebug sucks in any browser other than firefox. I won’t change to chrome, and I’m not planning to leave firefox any time soon, most of your suggestions, are firefox plugins also, I really can’t see a reason why to move on Chrome, other than google saying so :P

This is not a list of 30 irreplaceable Chrome extensions, as most of these are either available in other browsers or have similar counterparts available for other browsers. Rename it or find other extensions.

Very useful, thank you. Definitely, a + is the easiness of installation and starting to work with.
The only app that didn’t work for me is GoogleLike. Strangely gives me all 4 pics of my Uni website – no matter which blog/site I try to “googlelike”.
Otherwise – perfect. Also, I use Chrome Themes :)

Very useful post for those who are about to switch just like me.

I’ll probably leave Firefox for testing until somebody ports Web Developer, Firebug full version and Live HTTP headers (or anything similar) to Chrome.

Thanks!

I haven’t tried Chrome yet but it looks interesting. I’m happy with Firefox and all those extensions you listed that are functional to my needs are available for Firefox. My only question, does Chrome open faster than Firefox (after computer start up is complete)? Firefox takes a minute or two to open after start up on my comp.
