Insights from Googlers into our products, technology, and the Google culture
Use Chrome like a pro
July 15, 2010
This week I sent a note to Googlers about some of the Chrome team's favorite extensions. So many of them asked if they could share the list with people outside the company that I thought I would just do it for them. Here it is. We're proud of the Chrome browser and the great extensions that its developer community has created, and we hope you enjoy them! They can all be found at
chrome.google.com/extensions
