When I knew that Google do not have plans to add its popular Google Tool Bar to Chrome, I had a doubt that they are going to add most of it’s features in to Google Chrome by default, or “Built in”.

Recently, I got another sign of it, when I found ” Translation Bar” in the latest dev build that I am using ( yep,  I am using the developer version, to bring you the latest to you chrome news  Google Chrome To Add Translation Bar   Built in Translation ).  When you open a website, in a language other than your default language, the translation bar will popup on the top, suggesting you to view the translated version of the page.

You may get this even if a part of the website is in a different language. You can close the translation bar clicking on “X” icon on it. However, I am yet to find an option to disable the translation bar for the entire browser. But yes, this is still bring developed, and we will soon see those options.

Stay Tuned for more !

Yes, Google Chrome’s official extensions gallery is now live. With more than 300 extensions, this is a cool place for you to hang out, and take your chrome browser for a ride.

I have been using extensions on my developer version of chrome for past few weeks. ( running developer version helps me bring you more news about chrome at the earliest ! ). It was a nice experience, and will take your browser to the next level.

I really enjoyed  the google taks plugin, the google reader plugin, and the pagerank plugin etc.  I will be testing more plugins in coming days.

Just like extensions taking chrome to next level, the extensions gallery will take chromestory.com also to new level. I will be writing more about plugins in coming days, and will help you dive deeper in to the extensions gallery that google launched.  I will bring you more plugin use, plugin reviews etc.

Stay tuned. !

Chrome Extensions

If you are a google chrome fan, you might have heard people making fun of your for praising google chrome because it had no extensions support. Now, you can laugh back at them. Extensions will be officially available to everyone very soon. What makes me think so ? Read on ..

Chrome team has been testing and developing plugins or extensions for a long time now. But even on the developer version of Google chrome it required you to add a line of code to the command line for launching chrome. This is no longer required. That means, Extensions support is turned on by default on all google chrome dev versions now.

What this means, to me

So, for someone like me, using google chrome dev version, the browser is extension read, and there is a good documentation on how to create extensions, if I want to code my own thing. There is only one thing missing, an official extensions gallery, like they have for themes. We can expect this too, very soon.

What this means, to you

If you are using the stable version of Google chrome,  this means, you will have all the awesomeness of google chrome extensions and themes very soon, probably on your next update. We have reasons to believe that this will happen along with the stable releases for Mac and Linux. So, there is a big day ahead, when all these things are rolled out, together …

Wait for a great news ….
