My browser addiction saga continues. Google Chrome extensions have been enabled on the Mac dev channel and I’ve installed quite a few. Some of these extensions are even better than Firefox addons.

All the Google stuff works great (of course since Chome is Google). The extensions for Google Apps Mail (or GMail) and Google reader are fantastic bc they give you a count of unread items, and even a quick preview. This is huge bc I don’t have to leave a tab open for them. There’s also an extension to display feeds as Firefox does in the address bar.

They’ve also got some sweet web dev extensions. Avairy’s Screen Capture rocks for quick grabs and edits. Chrome Sniffer displays and icon for the CMS the site uses which is very cool and handy. Pendule is kindof a lite version of the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox.

One last note for something that stumped me (embarrassingly) on the Mac version: To access extension options or disable/uninstall, click on the wrench icon and go to Extensions
