Google Chrome has been impressive till date with its light weight, quick startup & performance. Since its introduction, the most sought feature has been the availability of an extension system, the feature currently dominated by Firefox. Finally the extension system is there in beta with impressive 1000+ extensions already in the store after its launch in December 2009.

The main attraction of firefox is its customizable environment for the users to meet their tastes and requirements in terms of themes and plugins. As themes were already available with the chrome, the introduction of extension system brings it closer to firefox in terms of customization.

Here I am listing some of the chrome extensions available for web designers & developers.
