Google Chrome updates its developer build, now with extensions for Mac

Filed under: Developer, Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Google, Beta, Browsers

If you're into getting the latest, greatest, most-untested updates to Google's Chrome Browser, the developer channel is the place for you. New updates to Chrome on all platforms just hit the dev channel, with a bug fix that should solve some problems with HTML5 audio and video. The big news is just for Mac users, though: Chrome Extension support is here!

That means OS X users now can share in the epic winningness of Download Squad's 10 must-have Chrome extensions, compiled by our own Sebastian, and a collection of 15+ extensions put together by Lee. Or, if you prefer to find extensions on your own, head over to Google's Chrome Extensions Gallery and start browsing.

This update to Chrome via the dev channel shouldn't be confused with the latest nightly build of Chromium, which is the open source browser that forms the basis for Chrome. As Nik pointed out, Chromium nightlies for Mac now have Bookmark Manager enabled by default. You can enable bookmark sync in the dev channel release of Chrome Mac, but a known bug crashes the browser on adding a new folder.
