Google Chrome to support 3rd party plug-ins

[ChaosOrb]

Google Chrome may just get in par with Firefox if this is implemented! Of course, I'm talking in terms of flexibility/extendability because of 3rd party plug ins.

3rd party plugins don't guarantee success. IE7 has had plugins, but that isn't why people use IE.

What I would want for google chrome is:
* to have its own functionality to input proxy details, instead of sharing with Internet Explorer's.
* to be able to turn off the spellchecker
* better greasemonkey support / maangement

... Just the basics first, really.

True, but look at Firefox it's the best example. The only reason why IE is the biggest slice on the browser market it that, most windows users doesn't even know that there exist other browser aside from IE and some doesn't know how to install a program on their windows box.

Well, Google Chrome is still in the beta stage, it was just release September this year so it's too early to tell what other features to be added on the Chrome. There are still room for improvement so to speak.

Well, good for you. At least you have your preferences already laid out. Rock on brother!

True, that those you mentioned are 3rd party software, but those are default 3rd party plug-ins already present when you install chrome. Just imagine if your browser doesn't support Flash, and you open YouTube, won't you freak out?

And speaking of records...Firefox has been in active development and been in the browser market for how many years and Chrome is just how many months old?. So there is no point in comparing records against Firefox and Chrome.
