Add Chrome’s Features to Firefox
I’ve tried Google’s browser, Chrome, although it seemed a bit faster than most browsers, it wasn’t enough for me to part with Firefox. Chrome doesn’t offer extensions or plug-in capabilities as of right now, however, Google plans to change this in May.
I have entirely too many plug-ins that I rely on in Firefox to switch browsers, but I will definitely give Chrome another try when plug-ins/extensions are made available for it. Until then, Firefox and I will not be breaking up.
Chrome does offer some great features that aren’t available in Firefox natively, however, with the power of plug-ins and extensions you can add a few of Chrome’s features to Firefox.
Chrome’s Features in Firefox Via Extensions:
- Download Statusbar - Get rid of that separate download window and put your downloads in the status bar
- Locationbar - Highlights the root domain of the website you are on (helps reduce spoofing risks)
- Stealther - Leaves no trace of your browsing session
- CyberSearch - Adds advanced Google Search capabilities to the address bar
- Chromifox - Chrome theme for Firefox
Now I have some of Chrome’s features in Firefox to tie me over until Chrome adds extension capability. Until then, Firefox will remain my default browser.

OK, Chromifox does enough to make Firefox look fresh for me. Thanks for the tip off. All the other stuff just tends to be a bell and a whistle I don’t need.

Chrome has also increased but still little is. It was expected success of Google.
