Google has finally rolled out Chrome 4.0 from beta to stable yesterday, bringing its support for extension (aka add-on) into the mainstream. Extensions have been available in the beta release for about a month now, but now you can get them in the stable version. There are now more than 1,500 extensions in the gallery.
The special things from chrome 4.0 is extensions and bookmark synchronization. Many might have been using extensions. For those newbies, these extensions are like Firefox add-ons, which makes your surfing easier. There are currently some 1,500 extensions.
All you need to do is, Just click on the tool icon on your chrome browser, click ” About Google chrome ” It will show you for updates, just update to chrome 4.0. After updating, Go to Extension’s page where you can see the most popular and rated extensions for your chrome browser.
If you want to know about the best 10 must have extensions, then go here. Google’s Un-Offical blog has also written on top 10 extensions – Look here
Another feature of chrome 4.0 is Bookmark Sync. The idea is simple. You need to sign sync my bookmarks window, then your bookmarks are stored online in your Google account. To be exact, it will store in your Google docs. After sync, you can now use those bookmarks on any computer, just by signing into your Google account.
Extensions and bookmark sync are only available for Windows user at present. Linux users will need to download the beta channel build, while Mac users have to resort to a developer build.
Not only extensions and bookmark sync, it also updated security fixes. Over all its a Strong update.

I would for Chrome to show me what features of their add-ons match the features of my current Firefox installation so I know which ones I need to install.
1500 Extension is a great Number to choose
Google chrome is great but the only thing I hate about it is it does not have an inbuilt RSS reader like Firefox.
Nice show !
