One of the features that were often-requested when Google Chrome was launched was support for extensions. Firefox supports extensions, and many users were hesitant to switch to Chrome because of lack of extensions on Chrome.

The good news is, Chrome supports extensions, and there are a few official extensions already. Hopefully, developers will take the lead and make more extensions. This tutorial walks you through installing extensions for Chrome.
