The First Google Chrome Extensions: Block Ads, Check PageRank, a. Google Chrome - T. Google Chrome playing catch-up on extensions. - InternetNews:The. From the "you gotta start somewhere" files: Sure Google's Chrome browser is fast. But since day one it has lacked add-ons/extensions that provide additional functionality. Today Google Chrome still doesn't have extensions, but Google developers now have a "design doc" that is an initial attempt at a roadmap.
In my opinion, the roadmap looks like it's an effort to do an add-ons/extensions approach that is as good (if not better) than the one that Mozilla Firefox uses today. Firefox 3.x has made great strides in improving how add-ons are consumed, and Mozilla continues to expand that effort. It looks like SSL, signed extensions and a central repository for auto-updates and validation are all part of the plan.According to the roadmap: We will provide a service designed to reduce burden to developers by reducing traffic costs and providing a robust, secure mechanism for autoupdates that they can easily leverage rather than having to handle the logistics on their own site.
