Google’s support to Chrome Add-ons and web standards

At the Web 2.0 Expo in New York last friday, Google engineer Ojan Vafai told that Chrome will support add-ons and user scripts à la Firefox Add-ons and Greasemonkey. However unlike the case in many times for add-ons for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, Google wants to make sure that add-ons will keep Chrome allways stable.

“There’s two different kinds of add-ons,” Vafai said. “The Firefox things extend your browser, so to speak, and then there are user scripts. We intend to do both of those in Google Chrome.”

it’s funny, the more i use Chrome, the more unstable it seems to get… crashes a lot more, can’t handle sites with flash, hangs every time i close a tab… all that to say, i’m switching back to Firefox

I use Chrome now for regular web browsing, I do not experience problems yet. However for webdesign I still use Firefox with the webdeveloper toolbar, Firebug, Measureit and ColorZilla.
