Well, you might know how much I love FireFox ( even despite the fact that because of my experiments with addons it sometimes becomes dead slow ) and how hardcore I may become wen it comes to something that I love, but even I couldn’t ignore those talks any longer.

Google Chrome had opened up its Extensions Gallery to developers in November, and the gallery seems to almost be ready for prime time. The addition of extensions to Google Chrome will not just make many casual users of Google Chrome happier, but also lead to customization of the browser which will lead to expanded usage and more user loyalty. Essentially, Extensions are to Chrome what Addons are to Firefox. Apparently, the Extensions Gallery will be much like the Chrome Themes Gallery. It will be a page that lists a bunch of extensions and has a button to one-click download the ones you want. Presumably there will also be a link to learn more about what each extension actually does. Initially, Extension support will only be for the Windows-based version of Chrome. Even though the launch of the beta version of Chrome for Mac is imminent, that version will not have extension support built-in. However, the latest builds of Chromium (the open-source browser that Chrome is built off of) for Mac does support extensions, and even has an extension manager that works. It would appear that the Linux build of Chrome will support extensions whenever that beta is available. Personally, I’m incredibly excited to see the collection of Chrome extensions which make my job easier roll out, including SEO and search marketing oriented extensions. One such extension which has been Shareaholic , one of my favorite social media extensions which assists in the sharing of sites to cross pollinate social media networks.

Product extensions are new ways by which you can add more relevant and specific information to your Google product ads. AdWords’ product extensions let you use your existing Google Merchant Center account for highlighting products directly in search ads, so that when your AdWords text ad appears and your Google Merchant Center account contains products that are relevant to the searcher’s query, it will display images, titles and prices of your products in what Google calls as plusbox located under your ad.

Meaning you won’t be charged if a user simply expands the plusbox and did not click through your site. Product extensions could improve your ads’ CTR (clickthrough rate). In addition, since product extensions are charged on a CPC basis, it will only display if your ad is triggered by one of the keywords in your product extensions enabled campaign. You can even select which products are to be displayed when a user’s query triggers your ads.
