I'm so loving new Chrome extension site. Have just installed quite a few nice extensions. Now I can totally throw Firefox away.

Out of curiosity, what font is that used to display the code samples on this video?

API designing is a great Job in my opinion.

@kymair chrome is not as good as firefox yet

1. chrome eats more ram ( i have 12 gb ram and chrome can easily eat it up, adobe flash plugin process eat lots of ram)

2. firefox blocks much more ads then chrome (chrome doesn't support this yet)

I've been waiting for years on google to add support for this, they just don't want to fix it :(

right now i have both firefox and chrome installed and use firefox on the web sites that are unreadable and messy due to ads

@sk8erman15 you want to unhide chrome extension? Click "the plug icon" - then click extension - then click option of respective extension - then choose "unhide".

@sk8erman15: Click the Wrench icon -> Extensions, from there you can re-enable the extension or use it's options to unhide them.

If this fails, just uninstall an reinstall the particular extension.

I'm really thrilled about that installing and uninstalling extensions takes less than a second :D

this is a really stupid question but i still cannot figure it out, how can I unhide the extensions. I have like 5 now but the icons dont show up.
