FastestFox has long been a favorite add-on of Firefox users with nearly 4.5 million downloads. If you've been waiting for a Google Chrome port, you're in luck -- one has just landed in the Extensions Gallery!
Like the Firefox version, FastestFox for Chrome adds several functions to simplify your browsing. Highlight text and mouse over the balloon to search on your customized selection of engines. You can display the balloon as a single row (as I have) or in the default multi-row format. Currently there are ten options you can add: Baidu, Bing, Delicious, Google, OneRiot, SurfCanyon, Twitter, Wiktionary, Yandex, and YouTube. Wikipedia is the only perma-option.
FastestFox can also embed a handy block for re-submitting your query to a different search engine, though the list isn't fully customizable yet and doesn't display Bing and Google as options. The 'endless pages' option is also a little buggy right now, but FastestFox is still a very useful addition to your Google Chrome install.
Download it from the Extensions Gallery and take it for a spin -- the developer considers this to be an alpha release, so be sure to share your comments on the extension page so it can be improved upon!
