Google is finding inspiration in Mozilla's recipe for success

Undoubtedly, a key aspect of Mozilla's success on the browser market can be attributed to Firefox extensive customization capabilities, and in fact, early on in the life of Chrome, Google promised support for extensions for its own breed of open source browser. With the latest update to Google Chrome, the Mountain View- based search giant has brought to the table extensions support for the versions of the browser running on top of Windows and Linux. Mac OS X users also running Chrome will have to wait a tad longer in order to be able to customize their browser at the same level as those running Windows and Linux, as Google Chrome extensions did not reach the quality standard necessary for a Beta release as far as Apple customers are concerned.

"When we first launched Google Chrome in September 2008, we knew that we wanted to make it easy for you to customize the browser with extensions. We also wanted to make extensions easy to create and maintain, while preserving Google Chrome's speed and stability. Extensions on Google Chrome accomplishes all these goals: they are as easy to create as web pages, easy to install, and each extension runs in its own process to avoid crashing or significantly slowing down the browser," revealed Brian Rakowski, Chrome product manager.
