Thanks to the amazing and ever expanding collection of extensions in the Chrome web store, Chrome has now become one of the most versatile web browsers. I definitely suspect it to be a part of Google’s world domination plans, but for the time being lets just keep that aside.

The Chrome web store now houses more than thousands of free extensions, which range from simple productivity tools to games and much more. With the help of all these extensions, Chrome has evolved into more of an swiss army knife amongst its competitor web browsers. Install the appropriate extension and Google chrome can simultaneously play many roles such as a instant messenger, feed reader, your daily expense calculator and the list just goes on. With all these features, Google chrome is definitely heading towards replacing your desktop experience.
