But Google has recently been touting a new capability in Chrome that was once wholly owned by Firefox — browser add-ons. Earlier this week, the company launched official support for add-ons in Chrome which means Firefox fans accustomed to tricking out their browser with dozens of extensions can now do the same with Google’s faster upstart. It also puts these two key players, who would otherwise be considered allies against Microsoft, even more at odds than they were before.
Unfortunately for Google, due to technical shortcomings and some license restrictions, Chrome’s extensions are unlikely to ever match the power and variety of what’s available for Firefox.
