Google Chrome will eventually support add-ons and user scripts
You can install add-ons for web browsers like Firefox that do everything from turn the browser into an FTP client to provide email notifications. And there are user scripts that will let you change the way you interact with web pages. Google Chrome doesn't currently support either type of extensions. But it will.
At the Web 2.0 Expo in New York, Google's Ojan Vafai indicated that Chrome wll support both eventually. But first, the developers want to make sure that add-ons don't cause the browser to become unstable. Firefox add-ons, for example, can bog down the application, making it take longer to launch and more likely to crash.
While you're waiting for Google to figure things out, there are always workarounds that let you install user scripts or block ads in Chrome.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Yeah it should surely have a nice Add-ons gallery like Mozilla Firefox. Chrome is definitely going to beat all browsers eventually.

They said Opera was going to beat everyone out too... same with Flock, yet Firefox is still holding strong. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Add-ons for Firefox will make it king for the foreseeable future. It's not Mozilla Firefox when I launch it, it's Eric's Firefox that's not like any other. It's perfectly(almost) customized to my wants and needs. Chrome may be light years ahead of the competition under the hood, but for now it's as functional to me as IE.

I can't wait to get del.icio.us and a video downloader in chrome
@datter: even though Opera is superior in many ways to Firefox, it didn't succeed due to the microscopic size and Swedish origin of its parent company. With Chrome, it's an entirely different story
@mikey: uninstall your trackpad/mouse driver. If you let the plain MS driver handle your trackpad/mouse then you will be able to scroll up.

I love Chrome. It is fast and simple. I would be so happy if it can support some the crucial add ons like Gspace and adblocks.
