Google plans to launch the Chrome browser.

According to media reports, Microsoft may hold the dominant share of the web browser market with its own browser, Internet Explorer. Google Chrome is still in beta testing for now, and according to InformationWeek, its browser market share is less than 1%. Google and its developers are trying to make this browser more user-friendly and attract more surfers. One method they have adopted is a plug-in system that allows users to install third-party plug-ins, thereby achieving some functions that Google has not yet integrated into the browser.

The ability to add third-party plug-ins is one of the main reasons why Mozilla Firefox has become so popular. This browser currently holds the record for the highest number of downloads in a day and has about 20% of the browser market share.

A Google developer announced this week that Google is considering opening up third-party browser plug-in functionality for Chrome, and also released a design document outlining how to enable plug-in support.

According to Google, they are willing to support many types of plug-ins, including ad blockers and Flash blockers, which are the two most popular plug-ins in Firefox. It is said that the plug-in system ranks at the top of the list of features that Chrome users hope to gain.

Currently, there are other rival products with no shortage of supporters, the two major representatives being Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome browser. Google has not set a timetable for designing and enabling a plug-in system for this beta version browser. However, both supporters of this browser and those looking for other browser options besides Internet Explorer and Firefox will be pleased to hear that Google plans to provide plug-in support.
