Google launched the Chrome browser in 2008 and it quickly became the most popular browser on the market. Statistics reveal more than 50 percent of users (and likely many more than that) use Chrome on a regular basis. Chrome has become the world's most popular browser due to it's speed and reliability, but also due to new functionality that was launched in 2010: The Chrome Web Store.
Although this new browser 'add-on' concept wasn't the first in the market (Mozilla's Firefox holds that claim), extensions have been a game changer that have allowed developers to create applications, themes and extensions for Chrome. This concept has the capability to add previously unavailable functionality to a Web browser, and crosses the chasm between a browser and a third-party application. |
