Google preparing to launch Chrome Extensions gallery?
Up until now, the corner of the page featured a small graphic which linked to the Themes Gallery. Today, that image was replaced with the puzzle pieces you see above which links to https://chrome.google.com/extensions. Don't get too excited, though.

Google Chrome Dev build - extensions
Adblock+ and AntiADS both do what they claim.
I've been using as default, the dev build since chrome's debut without problems. Quite some time ago I found that these "your browser is incompatible" notices were actually just BS posted by lazy (or conspiratory) web admins. When you change your "browser id" everything works and always has.
