Google Chrome 3 is out, no extensions yet :(
Just read an article on ReadWriteWeb about Google Chrome, and the big news is…
Well Google has released version 3 of the Chrome browser, it has several features that were enabled in the development channel, but no extensions support yet :(
Chrome has been out only about a year, so it is no surprise there are lots of things that are still partially implemented, hell, there are other browsers out there that have been out for years and years and still have a lot of things not working Ok, a year is not that long, and Chrome already does a lot of things and is very stable, so no more complains from my part, just a little disappointed because i will have to keep using the same old stuff, again..
Something i wonder is, how toolbars will be integrated into the UI, i guess the time of a clean User Interface will be over as soon as toolbars for the most used sites are made available, how will Google handle this without loosing one of Chrome’s main “features”?

Google Chrome Extensions Support

Google Chrome Extensions Support
It seems Google Chrome is getting very near to enabling extension support in the release build, i hope they get to it soon, as i am really tired of having a browser that eats 300 MB of ram or more just with 3 o 4 tabs open, what happened to you Firefox?
Just finished installing the most recent beta of Chrome, so far so good, a little slow at times, i did notice that, if i minimize the browser and spend too much time on other applications, when I return to the browser, pages are drawn very slowly, but once i have moved between tabs, everything is back to normal, seems like a windows issue, as if it will page to disk all the browser memory or give it very low priority while it is in the background, hopefully this won’t happen in the release version.
Oh yeah, and themes can’t be selected again once you download them, i noticed Chrome will download the them every time i select it, so if i want to try another theme and then return to the previous one i had, it will be downloaded again, but i guess this is still an unfinished feature and the version i am using is beta and this post was supposed to be all about browser extensions and not theme support, so…
