Exciting news for Mac-using Chrome lovers: the latest dev-channel build of Google Chrome (finally) includes support for extensions, among other new features. Similar to Firefox Add-ons, Chrome Extensions allow 3rd-party developers to add new functionality to the browser. There's a decent collection of Extensions available already at Google's Extensions Gallery, although not all of them will work with the Mac version. Interested developers can dive into the documentation on creating new extensions.
Additional features include built-in support for bookmark syncing, as well as the ability to 'pin' tabs with just their favicon showing. It seems like a big jump in bringing the Mac version of Chrome up to feature parity with other platforms, which is great to see. Remember, these features are in the bleeding-edge dev channel, you won't find them (yet) in the main (likely more stable) beta download.
