Chrome OS-like extensions
Update: They all moved HERE.
Like the extensions here, I made these (right click and download, view Update notice) for:
Google Tasks canvas updated icon
Google Reader suggested by Areq1987
Twimbow suggested by @filos. Updated!
Google Maps with Local Search (works directly) by @Ookong
Blogger Draft suggested by malhaarkale
Foursquare new
Tested on Chrome 6.0.458.1 dev under Ubuntu 10.04 (success) and on stable 5.0.375.99 under Windows XP and 7 (both fail). More tests tomorrow. You can make your own really easy, just browse the Chrome installation folder on your computer and you’ll figure it out (read the GOS article) ;)
Update: It seems they don’t work if you run them directly, so in order to install download the crx files to your computer and open with Google Chrome. Don’t forget the —enable-apps parameter on the Chrome shortcut. Also, these extensions don’t work on stable Chrome releases so far (check the post date) despite the fact that you can install them through direct link.
Update2: Latest Chrome Dev update: 6.0.466.0 removes the omnibar from the ‘special’ tabs, you can toggle it’s view by right-clicking the tab you want and select “Show/Hide toolbar”. Have fun :)
Update3: They all moved HERE.
Update4: Google is in control.
* Don’t know if I’m allowed to do this, I couldn’t add them to Chrome Extensions site (something about comments in the manifest, hey it’s 2 a.m.). If you know something or there’s a problem, mail me: vlad[at]nastasiu[dot]com
