Google Chrome is out and it has been well accepted as the latest challenger in the web browser war.
Mozilla Firefox remains the favorite mostly because of the add-on feature which enables the user to extend the capabilities of the browser by adding third party tools.
Google Chrome while being an open source offering lack any such feature at the moment.
But Google is definitely working on an extension API which should allow third party developers to code features that could work on top of Chrome.
Google representative Sundar Pichai has been quoted as saying: “We don’t have that in the beta today, but we definitely plan an extension API. It is one of the things we will get to next.”
It would be interesting to see how Google would react to potential future add-ons like AdBlock which enables the user to surf the websites with all advertising disabled.
Google’s primary source of income is online advertising and they might restrict any such possible add-ons for Chrome.
