Google Chrome browser, now with extensions.

It's about time, that Google's Chrome browser finally got extensions. I don't like Firefox nearly as much, because it's nowhere near as fast as Chrome.

However, a huge annoyance - that up until now was inescapable in Chrome - has been these really intrusive Flash adverts, which have music/jingles that automatically play, particularly from certain companies and on certain websites. With extensions, I can now use the AdThwart extension that prevents Flash objects from automatically starting. Works great!

Another awesome extension is Feedly, which aggregates your rss feeds into a very beautiful layout that makes it fun to review the highlights of your feeds. As much as I love my Google Reader - which by the way is the only way to read your rss feeds on a smart phone - Feedly is a better interface for viewing rss feeds on a laptop or desktop, IMO.

In other news...it's damn cold in Portland, Oregon!
