At last: Google Chrome got *useful* extensions

Google's Chrome is probably the fastest web browser around. But until now, it was almost impossible to use with popular Israeli websites because of their notoriously ad-packed noise. This required me to use the combination of Mozilla Firefox (a good browser by its own right) and Ad-Block Plus. While working with the Fox, I got accustomed to using various other add-ons. This is basically what I really liked about Firefox - the huge variety of add-ons and I longed for the day the Chrome gets extensions.

Well, the wait is almost over. I am now using a beta (I think) version of Chrome 4 (4.0.249.25), with extensions. Google finally allowed programmers to develop extensions for their browser, and started a website not too long ago. Now, there are already some useful extensions. Among which are the following that I have already installed:

AdThwart (there are other ad blockers, but this one seems to be able to block Ynet's clutter, see picture)

Search Preview for Chrome (similar to Google Preview for Firefox, and there are others like it)

Wave Notifier (not really useful, but still)
