Google Chrome now officially supports browser extensions, meaning that Chrome is well on its way to offering the sort of extensibility that made the Firefox web browser a power user’s dream.

Firefox fans accustomed to tricking out their browser with dozens of extensions have long bemoaned Chrome’s inability to offer the same sort of extension support.

For now extensions will only work in the Windows release, but the Chromium blog promises that extensions will eventually arrive in the Mac and Linux builds as well.

Chrome still has a ways to go before it reaches Firefox’s level of add-on success, but hopefully, now that extension support is beginning to look official, developers will begin building more powerful tools.

To get the developer releases of Chrome you’ll need to download and install the dev channel release. Once you’re running the dev build, you can install extensions from Google as well as third-party developers.
