Google Chrome
Google Chrome is the one browser that really comes close to being
the default browser on my computer. Extensions are possible but the API
is limited. Once the extensions API opens up you can expect to see a
slew of extensions for the Chrome browser as well.
Here are some Firefox addons that replicate the features found in Chrome:
- Locationbar2
– (AmazingIT.blogspot.com) Adds Chrome-like domain highlighting and other interesting features
to the Firefox address bar. It allows you to click on segments of the
URL for navigation. The colors and text are customizable according to
your liking.

- New Tab Jumpstart – Replaces Firefox’s default start page with a Chrome-like start page displaying thumbnails and recent history. Although the start page’s design has changed in the latest version of Chrome, jumpstart still offers you the start page from previous versions.
- Chromifox Extreme
– If you like the looks of Google Chrome you should check out the
Chromifox extreme theme. It’s as close as you would get to the Chrome
look and feel. If the title bar irks you, you can try Chromin Frame. It
didn’t work on my side when I was writing the article so you might want
to keep that in mind.

- Download Statusbar
– Chrome displays downloads at the bottom of the window whenever you
start one. Download statusbar lets you do just that in Firefox. You can
customize it with a host of options and appearance settings. It also
features a mini mode, which you can use if you would want to save on
screen real estate sometimes.

- App Tabs – Lets you pin selected tabs permanently to the tab bar. The tabs are locked and remain open across different browser sessions until you explicitly close them.
- Mozilla Prism – Lets you prism applications from Firefox. The applications can be opened using a shortcut just like any normal desktop applications and feature a minimum browser UI.
- Omnibar – Omnibar is a nice attempt (although it falls short) at replicating Chrome’s incredible address bar and what all you can do with it.(AmazingIT.blogspot.com)
