I'll admit, the title is a bit of an over-simplification. There are plenty of other reasons Google and Adobe have been working so closely together lately. They're both members of the Open Screen Project and should, therefore, be cooperating. But there's no question that Flash gaming in the Chrome browser and Chrome OS is very important right now. When Google demoed the Chrome Web Store at I/O, ...

The Chrome Extension Gallery push is on, and we're finally starting to see some solid add-on options cropping up for Google's web browser. If you're the type who eschews the mouse or trackpad in favor of keyboard-fu, you owe it to yourself to check out the Vimlike Smoozie [translated] extension.
