Google Chrome to add WOT extension
Posted 12.03.2008 by Frank J in Internet, Software,
If you haven’t heard, Google is developing extensions for its Chrome browser. The good news, WOT (Web of Trust) is listed in the top 15 add-ons being offered by Google Chrome.
Google developers have a lot of work ahead of them, but I trust that they will dazzle the masses. Google has released a document that outlines a plan. Among the initial add-ons they want to support is WOT!
According to the document, the Chrome extension system will have to be open, ‘webby’, rich, general, stable, secure and maintainable and offer support for five types of extensions:
- Bookmarking/navigation tools: Delicious Toolbar, StumbleUpon, web-based history, new tab page clipboard accelerators
- Content enhancements: Skype extension (clickable phone numbers), RealPlayer extension (save video), Autolink (generic microformat data – addresses, phone numbers, etc.)
- Content filtering: Adblock, Flashblock, Privacy control, Parental control
- Download helpers: video helpers, download accelerators, DownThemAll, FlashGot
- Features: ForecastFox, FoxyTunes, Web Of Trust, GooglePreview, BugMeNot
Could it be a redo of Firefox, and to some extent Internet Explorer? (Yes, they also have add-ons for IE).
Google hasn’t announced a release date yet, but I am sure it will be soon.

Add-ons in Chrome would be a bonus since many are still using Firefox because there is a huge support of add-ons and I am sure that by introducing these add-ons in Chrome browser, Google Chrome will increase its market share which has just reached 1%.

Kashif,
I agree, Chrome will gain more market value once we get some cool add-ons.
