Chrome gets a real extension manager in dev channel build
While it's not quite as "pretty" as the add-on manager built in to Firefox, at least it's there. Yes, Google Chrome has a built-in extension manager - for those of you running the developer channel build.
To access the page, just head to the wrench menu or type chrome://extensions in the omnibar and hit enter. Chrome (or Chromium) will display a list of all your installed extensions (yes, LastPass an alpha out for testing and you can read about it here on Download Squad). Any extension can be disabled, uninstalled, or reloaded (presumably in the event one decides to crash like a Sea King helicopter).
It's definitely nice to see a full-featured extension interface appear in Chrome. Now all we have to do is wait for developers to port over some of our favorite Firefox add-ons - or create some killer new ones.

This is great. Anythings better than having to use command line arguments.

That comments about helicopters is in pretty bad taste IMHO.

I'm guessing you're not Canadian. It's kind of a regional thing, don't take it too seriously...

Wow I didn't realize you were Canadian! I don't feel so alone up here with my crashed Sea King then lol.
