Google updates Chrome for Mac, adds extensions
Summary: Google releases an update to the Chrome browser for Mac users
And just when I was starting to wonder if there would be any cool news to come out of Macworld today, along comes Google with news of a pretty hefty update to the Mac version of the Chrome browser.
OK, maybe that's not a Macworld announcement - but it is reason for Mac fans to celebrate., The wait for Chrome has been a long time coming and though a beta version has been out for a couple of months, it hasn't offered all the extras that came with the Windows version.
The release, which is available for download now, is boasting the availability of more than 2,200 extensions for Chrome, as well as bookmark synchronization. From the Google Chrome blog:
Those of you who use several computers will now be able to keep your bookmarks synchronized between them. If some of your computers aren't Macs, don't worry: bookmark sync works in Chrome for Linux and Windows too. We also added bookmark and cookie managers in a way that feels completely at home on the Mac. For technically-oriented users, our new Task Manager will help you keep tabs on all of your tabs.
Existing users of Chrome will be updated in the next day or so.

Chrome for Mac still missing Image Resize capability in WordPress
In FireFox for Mac, when you insert a photo in a page or post, you can click the photo and eight little resize-handles appear so you can scale the photo to your liking. In Safari for Mac and Chrome for Mac this ability is unavailable - you can highlight the photo but there are no resize handles.
Until Chrome overcomes this shortfall, Firefox will remain the browser of choice for WordPress users, which is a shale because that one feature is the only thing keeping me from switching.
