So Google Chrome has come out and people are wondering what to make of it.  It has a simplistic interface similar to IE7, better javascript speed, and boasts being a stable application (FINALLY!), and loads more.  Sure all of this sounds great but being a diehard Firefox fan it still falls short in plugins.  As in, there are no plugins yet!  :GASP:  As a web developer, if I am to switch over to Chrome full time I need the following firefox extensions ported over:

1)  SeoQuake.  Without question SeoQuake is something I use every day and need to have.  I like to be able to pull stats for any website I go to.  If Chrome doesn't have it, I won't use it.

2)  Roboform.  I don't know about you guys but I have literally hundreds of logins and passwords.  I can't remember them all and I don't want to.  Therefore roboform HAS to work in chrome.

3)  Firebug.  I don't really need to say anything here other than the fact this is the best extension ever made for web developers.

4)  AdBlock Plus.  I used Google Chrome a few minutes ago and saw ads on pages and was completely not used to it.  Am I ready to go back to a banner ad filled browsing experience?  No, and I don't think you are either.

Chances are that you have at least one of these extensions installed in firefox and have gotten very used to having it.  Call me crazy, but I refuse to browse without them.
