25+ Must Have Google Chrome Extensions for Web Developers

Just for recall In my last post I told you guys how apple is supporting html5 and css3 , this post is dedicated to web development (and I am one of them :)) so read on..

Google chrome has become very popular now after its first release but it is true that Firefox is still the most loved browser among web developer communities.You will find lot of content over internet regarding web development supporting plugings for Firefox but for chrome there are very few.So I decided to write one post on it.It will take an awful lot of effort on Google’s part to tear most web developers away from their beloved Firefox, but with the number of web-developer-friendly extensions for Chrome on the rise, developers in increasing numbers are giving Chrome a try and some of them are not looking back.
Chrome’s faster than Firefox, uses less CPU and comes with built-in Developer Tools (accessible by pressing Ctrl+Shift+I). Even if you’re not ready to abandon Firefox yet, make sure you give Chrome a chance with the outstanding extensions below.
