I’ve always liked Google Chrome and I would use it occasionally because its performance was substantially faster than Mozilla Firefox. What kept me from using it as a default browser? Its lack of browser extensions. Well, now there are extensions available for Chrome. I was able to find an Chrome extension to replace almost every Firefox extension I had. I love how fast the Google Chrome extensions install. I don’t even have to restart the browser each time I install one.
Here’s a list of Google Chrome extensions I have Running:
- LastPass
- SmoothScroll
- IE Tab
- Google Mail Checker
- WiseStamp
- Better Gmail
- Xmarks
- Feedly
- RSS Subscription Extension
- Aviary Screen Capture
- SEO Status Pagerank/Alexa Toolbar
- Add to Amazon Wish List
- Wishpot Button
Have you made the switch to Google Chrome? How do you like it? What extensions are you running?

SHUT UP!
I love you for posting about the extensions! Serious fan of Google Chrome, but didn't use it as often for the same reasons you didn't.
Thanks for posting this!

Google Chrome 4 vrsion is really impressive after all it supports many extensions like firefox addons. And i personally prefer Chrome because its much lighter then firefox if you used many windows at a same time.

I was using Google Chrome but found it very unstable. It would crash a lot for me. Additionally, for web design purposes, Firefox has much better addons.

@Kristina Brooke, that's funny because my Firefox would crash a lot. I had some web design addons for Firefox, but never used them. Only thing that bothers me is that Chrome doesn't have an FTP extension yet.

Google chrome is one of the best web browsers i have seen. Its really cool and its really fast also. The new themes option makes it more trendy.

My Droid junky hubby had us over to Chrome about 6 months ago but I am addicted to my roboform(can't live without it)and at the time they had not added extensions yet, so he went to the beta test of Chromium...I was able to get my roboform and have been there ever since. I kinda switch between all the browsers because the hubs has us jumpin all over the place. He's like a kid in the candy store especially when he sees open source. I just want to walk to my computer and find it like I left it; same browser, same operating system! Anything that resembled what I last saw :-) I do love the [SEO Status Pagerank/Alexa Toolbar] that's my fave! Great post
