More Chrome Updates: I miss my extensions

After playing with doing a detailed and meticulous review of Chrome, I have realized just how much I miss all the extensions I can get with Firefox.

Adblock Plus for the sites with annoying flash ad’s (notice the one’s on my site? No? That’s because I hate them). Flashblock for sites with annoying flash movies I don’t want to see.  Flagfox for when I want to make sure a site is really located in the United States, and not Nigeria. And many more  don’t remember, and am to lazy to look up.

Fortunately, Google says the inability to extend Chrome is “a Chrome weakness, but one which will be addressed soon. “  But as is mentioned in that same conversation, it is unclear what soon means. Is it already coded, and just waiting to be implemented? Is it in development? Or is it a feature currently being planned, on which development will start soon? Personally, I prefer the first option.

On a more positive note, the UI has started to grow on me. It is very minimalist, and the art style is somewhat like Aero, without going over the top like IE 7 and 8. It seems a lot like something Apple would produce, which makes kind of makes sense, as it is based on Webkit, like Safari (of course, the only time I ever use Safari is on my Iphone).
