Google Chrome just got better

For more than half a year, I've been using google chrome as my standard browser. This because of to factors.
1) I've found it to be much faster than any of the other browsers.
2) There almost no "waste of space"
Both IE and Firefox has from my point of view a lot of space that is wasted. Both on extention, but they also have a window-box wich creates a line in the top and in the bottom of the screen that isn't used for anything relevant. In Chrome the top line have been merged with the tabs, and the bottom line only appears when loading a page.

The only minus have been the lack of extensions. But not anymore!
Now it is possible for the beta version of chrome to add extensions, and it doesn't make the interface any bigger. All it does is make your search-bar a little shorter and add the extension.

As you can see I currently have three extensions installed. The first from the right is myAdThwart that works like Adblock plus for Firefox. The next two is my Gmail and my Googlewave. Both let me know if there's any new messages in any of the two, and in this picture I have one in each. If you want to see what kind of extensions are available you can look at this page https://chrome.google.com/extensions .
Otherwise you can see this short video explaining extensions for Google chrome.
