Google Chrome extensions has been available for quite some time now and it seems to be growing more and more each day. Google Chrome just got a whole lot more useful with the expansion of new extensions based around web development, making designers and developers like myself giddy with joy. That right! Finally, extensions for web development.
Firefox is without doubt the most popular browser used by many within the developer community and still considered my top favorite browser to work with personally.
