While Chrome might have been dubbed to be not very useful and Firefox must have been thanking that, but that’s about to change as Google Chrome gets add-ons. The latest build integrates new APIs to bring extensions to the browser and enabling developers to build add-ons. The first of these extensions include the Gmail extension that shows your email count at the bottom of your browser window. The other puts a checkbox that lets you subscribe to any sites RSS via Google Reader. Presently there isn’t much to offer save for extensions focused at Google products alone but it’s just a matter of time before developers start pouring in their bit of hard work and add more extensions. Plus Google needs those extensions for Chrome, since this is one thing that’s keeping the larger number of users from using the browser and the sooner it gets these flooding the better it is.

In order to begin development in Chrome, you will have to:

• You receive from Chrome’s developer channel. You can download the changer and set the channel to developer.
• use command line to launch Chrome along with adding a flag –enable-extensions toward the end of the path.
