Chrome Web Store extensions
December 14, 2011 in Google Apps, Help with lanfranc.org by Mr R Marston
Google Chrome allows you to install ‘extensions’ to add functionality to the web browser. This could be an icon that links to a website, an icon in the toolbar to prompt you when mail arrives, or a more fully featured application.
Extensions are generally available to download from the Chrome Web Store. Some extensions are free of charge, some have a cost.
