Google has announced that Mac and Linux versions of its Chrome browser should be available before July 2009

Extensions should be their main priority as many Mac and Linux users will want to have them too.

I've been using chrome since release and I have to say, when I moved to chrome from FF I was worried about the lack of addons. After using chrome for awhile though, I realized that the majority of addons I had were just not that useful, asides from Adblock, which I replaced with Privoxy. While addons would be a useful addition, I hope the team working on chrome maintains its speed and low profile first and foremost.

No 'vimperator' for google chrome? No way to switch from firefox

Tired of using mouse...

Once they hurry up with extensions support so I can have NoScript and Adblock I'll make the switch.

I am not too sure if Chrome will have Adblock - would that not be cutting indirectly into Google's business model?

Chrome only now availebel on the Mac - for such a verbal community I have not heared much moaning and complaining.

Once the extension framework is active they won't be able to stop people making adblocking extensions.
