Interesting Part of Google Chrome, Extension

Do you Firefox User?. If so, you must be familiar with Firefox extension. Actually, that’s the only reason why I still install Firefox in my computer…
So, what is an extension?.
An extension is a zipped bundle of files — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and anything else you need — that adds functionality to the Google Chrome browser.
That’s the definition. It’s clear, though, that extension act to add functionality to the browser. You can call it Add-on in Firefox. Just like DownThemAll, where you can download all links in a page with just one click, or Youtube downloader, where  you can download flash file from Youtube, Google Chrome won’t  be left behind.
Starting from version 5.0.342, Chrome add extension for their browser. There’s many extensions available for you, as well as extension from Chrome developer itself, or extension from personal. Up to now, there’s more than 1500 extensions available to download (it’s only a couple Kb of each extension, so don’t worry). 
Here’s some list of Important Chrome extension you can use. Full list, visit Chrome Extension Page.

There’s many keystrokes combination in Google Chrome, you can check it in Google Chrome Support page. I’ll list most important of them:

Open Window and Tab

  • CTRL+T or clicking plus sign beside address bar will give you a new tab
  • CTRL+SHIFT+N will open a new windows in Incognito Window. What’s incognito Window?. It’s a window that not record what you’ve visited. You don’t need to clear out visit history, as it’s not recorded. So, with incognito window, you can surf privately

What is Google Chrome

Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine and application framework. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on 2 September 2008, and the public stable release was on 11 December 2008. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or "chrome", of web browsers. As of 1 March 2010, Chrome was the third most widely used browser, with 6.16% of worldwide usage share of web browsers, according to Net Applications.

In September 2008, Google released a large portion of Chrome's source code, including its V8 JavaScript engine, as an open source project entitled Chromium. This move enabled third-party developers to study the underlying source code and help port the browser to Mac OS X and Linux. A Google spokesperson also expressed hope that other browsers would adopt V8 to help web applications. The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the permissive BSD license, which allows portions to be incorporated into both open source and proprietary software programs.  Other portions of the source code are subject to a variety of open-source licenses. Chromium implements the same feature set as Chrome, but without Google branding and automatic updates, and it has a slightly different logo.
