For the past few months, I’ve been keeping two browsers open at the same time, Firefox and Chrome. I use Chrome for Gmail and other web apps where speed is of the essence. And I use Firefox because I still like having my extensions available to me. It’s a pain in the ass to be honest. I’d really like to move entirely to Chrome, but I need my extensions.
Well this week is a big one because according to MG Siegler, Google is going to launch extensions for Chrome this week. It may happen at the Add-On Con which is happening the end of this week in Mountain View. Add-On Con was organized in part by our portfolio company Get Glue, which offers the Glue add-on, one of the browser extensions I can’t live without.
Speaking of extensions I can’t live without, here’s my list:
- Blogrollr
- Download Them All
- Glue
- Google Gears
- Lazarus Form Recovery
- Zemanta
I hope all of them will be available for Chrome asap. I know for sure that Glue and Zemanta will be ready to go this week.
Unfortunately for me, extensions won’t be available for Chrome for Mac right away. So I’ll be using two browsers for a while more.
UPDATE: Zemanta updated their browser extension today. Here is the blog post explaining the new features and here is the extension.
