Comments on: Chrome begins RSS support, solidifies extensions

The second most requested feature in Google's browser, the ability to find and subscribe to Web page RSS feeds, is arriving. Extensions, the top item, is maturing.

If Google successfully integrates extensions into it's browser I think it will be best hands down.

huh? so extension will make it the best. you must like toys

@goodspeed8701
This is possibly the most stupid thing i have ever read.

Extensions are miles away from being toys, they can massively improve functionality of a browser.
DownThemAll: lets you download items on a page in mass quantities, such as images, webpages, anything really
NoScript: disable a page from running scripts, useful for non-trusted websites. (sites can be whitelisted)
Flashblock: because we all know flash abusers suck.
etc.

@goodspeed8701: It is not MERELY the extensions that will make it best, it is the extension added on to the useablity and speed. Extentions will allow more customization and extend features. That along with the streamlined design and quickness would be awesome.

I do like toys though.

I use IE and i use the roboform and add blocker extension. and i stillwont say its the best browser cos of the extension i use on it. although extension helps but it wont make it the best browser out there. Well safari is more like a toy to me. now they tr to include the itune and ipod style in it. i use firefox for just one thing only the ftp addon after i got mylicense for cuteftp i uninstall it. i use opera and IE8 now.

Finally! The lack of RSS support is the only reason i still use Firefox at all. Now i won't have to switch browsers to read my webcomics. :P

Once extensions like AdBlock, FlashBlock & NoScript are written by 3rd party developers I'll give it another try. Without those features there is very little difference between IE/Safari/Chome to me. The extensions are what make Firefox such a great browser to me.

Chrome is awesome. There has already been "extension" like apps, Greasemetal ( http://greasemetal.31tools.com/ ) that allows you use userscripts like AdBlock/NoScript in Chrome.

Chrome's V8 Javascript engine makes if way better than FF. Have you seen the Chrome experiments? AWESOME!

[nutzfartly]

Chrome shouldn't even have been released without RSS capabilities. Now they say"...well, not quite yet...". RSS is a most basic "addon", and is virtually indispensable to a serious browser. And another thing, Chrome is fast because it's stripped down. When it starts getting bloated with lots of "addons" and "extensions", it'll slow down just like all the rest.

Good now hurry up with Chrome for Mac!!!! I miss it so much since I switched to Mac.

[n25philly]

meh, it's still a tenth rate browser

"Google is working on extensions, too, which will let people customize the browser with features such as ad blocking"


Google blocking ads?


That's a good one.


By the way, Google Chrome is really good!

[exactlyy]

what is so big about enabling RSS ?? man that is so sad , a browser shouldnt be considerd a browser without having this in the 1st place , so now the naked chrome got its 1st underwear , maybe in a year u'll celebrate again and talk about the greatniss of chrome cuz the master password w'd be on the way and you wont be scared that anyone with access to ur pc could easly get all ur password since google didnt figure out how to protect the saved password with a master password a year ago , guys that is pathetic.

[DEVNULLIUS]

Chrome roels beyond BigTime, and well... actually you already can do RSS with Chrome...I posted more info recently here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=519498586c828c1f (mirror: http://groups.google.com/group/altoswindows-2k3/browse_thread/thread/64356144899e1ed3).

Peace!
