Google Chrome Extension Gallery Now Live

By , Published December 8, 2009

Google Chromes’ official Extensions Gallery is finally open for business.

Tons of new extensions are available from the official extension gallery – yes, even adblockers - including official extensions from eBay, StumbleUpon and Google themselves, all with one-click installs and no browser restart required. Eat that Firefox!

Check them out now @ chrome.google.com/extensions 

Don’t forget that the official beta build of Google Chrome for Linux was also released today and you can get it at google.com/chrome.

    If a decent adblocker will be released, I may think about switching, but for now I’ll stick to Firefox :)

      Adthwart isn’t bad. But the rest are a bit pants, really.

    Using the dev-channel on Ubuntu 9.04… I updated today, and tried to install some extensions. When I click the install button, Chrome prompts me to download the .crx file. If I choose a location and save it, it immediately prompts me to download another file. If I choose a location then, it gives me the save/discard message in the download bar. If I select save there, it asks again, in a loop… I tried only saving the first crx file, then dragging it to Chrome, but the results are the same: an infinite loop of downloading files.

    Anyone else seeing issues like this?

    Yeah, eat that firefox? I wish you could see the possibilities of them working together instead of competing. Plus, firefox is still more stable on Ubuntu…

      Well obviously, you think the word “Beta” is there for show?

      Firefox isn’t innovative much anymore – and can’t afford to be. It’s only thanks to Chrome coming along that a UI refresh is on the cards.

      The ‘eat that firefox’ was referring to the fact you need to restart firefox to apply changes. It’s annoying and is restart-less installation of extensions is ear-marked for Firefox 4. Due sometime next decade. =P

    So I installed the official beta of google chrome today. When I went to check out the extension gallery I can’t download any of the extensions. What gives? It says I need to switch to the beta channel of chrome for vista/xp.

    Hi,
    I will think about this new adblocker .I always go with firefox .As this is an open source internet browser that works for MacOSX, Linux and Windows operating system. So whether you are using Windows or Linux, you would be able to install FirefoxThese are technical specifications, however what is interesting to know from the user’s point of view is that Firefox is extremely fast and secure. Navigation from one website to another is very easy. User interface is uncomplicated and straightforward.
