Posted by Mike

Google Chrome is fast becoming like Firefox and Greasemonkey with its future support for Add-ons and Plug-ins.

According to Aaron Boodman, Greasemonkey founder and a member of the Google Chrome team said that Chrome will use both add-ons that extend browser features and use scripts.

Google Chrome is the latest browser to hit the web, and within a few weeks from its release it already reached almost 2 million downloads. Many users believe that Chrome will soon be a serious competitor of Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer as it offers different features such as browser tab isolation.

Suggestions and ideas as to how Google Chrome add-ons should include are already pouring in. Experts of other browser groups are interested in the development of the open source browser made by the big G. Among most notable feature of Chrome are its tabs.

Brendan Eich, Mozilla CTO is studying the Chrome’s stability using tabs and he is very positive on the developments on the latest browser. “There are good process-isolation tricks that Chrome does that we’re looking into, so we’re simply going to look at better isolation techniques for security and integrity,” he said.
