extensions

Extensions, often also referred to add-ons, are little programs that add to the functionality of an application. They are best known in the web browser world where they are referred to as Firefox add-ons and Google Chrome extensions.

Firefox and Google Chrome are the two browsers with the widest available range of extensions. Opera uses a slightly different approach with its widget based system.


Extensions can be installed in the web browser to add functionality to it. This ranges from design and security extensions to those that manipulate websites, display information about websites or manipulate data.


Extensions are also available for other software programs like email clients, image editing tools or chat applications.

You'll find bloggers talking about extensions at sites like Ghacks Technology News and 4 Browser.
