Google has announced that they will be officially launching the Chrome Extensions site next week, giving Chrome browser users a chance to download add-ons, one of the features that has made rival Firefox so popular.
The new Extensions Gallery will list all the extensions and offer a one-click download to add the extension to the browser's shell.
There are currently hundreds of extensions for the browser, but none are officially supported by Google.
Additionally, Extensions will only be available for Chrome on Windows, despite the upcoming launch of the Mac version. Chromium for Windows and Macs supports extensions.
Internet Explorer remains the market leader at just under 65 percent, but Chrome, Safari and Firefox have been taking market share since their respective releases. Firefox stands at almost 25 percent, Chrome at 4 percent and Safari at 4.5 percent. Internet Explorer held a 93 percent market share in 2003.
