Usage of Google Chrome is increasing over the web. Especially the growth rate has been increased after it’s recent release with support to extensions.
Chrome’s extension base is also growing rapidly. Though Chrome doesn’t have as many extensions as Firefox has, the growth rate of Chrome Extensions created a healthier browser war.
Here are some extensions which we think that would help you to have better browsing experience.
1. RSS Subscription Extension
This extension auto-detects RSS feeds on the page you are reading and upon finding one will display an RSS icon in the Omnibox, allowing you to click on it to preview the feed content and subscribe.
