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.
