addon

An addon, or add-on, is a small program that extends the functionality of an existing program. Popular addon examples are Firefox add-ons and Google Chrome extensions. Addons are on the other hand not limited to web browsers. Add-ons exist for image editors like Adobe Photoshop or Paint.net, Office programs like Microsoft Office or media players like Windows Media Player.

Addons can extend the functionality but also change the appearance, features and options of the programs that they are loaded in.

Common add-on examples are security add-ons for web browsers that increase the browser's security or a Internet video add-on to play YouTube videos in a desktop video player.

You'll find bloggers talking about addons at sites like Otaku Gadgets and Trixoo.
