In the current browser wars, just as in rounds past, Internet Explorer is the agreed-upon common target. Googles Chrome, Mozillas Firefox and, though its less vocal about it, Apples Safari, are all after IEs vast market share much more so than each others.

But Google has recently been touting a new capability in Chrome that was once wholly owned by Firefox browser add-ons. Earlier this week, the company launched official support for add-ons in Chrome which means Firefox fans accustomed to tricking out their browser with dozens of extensions can now do the same with Googles faster upstart. It also puts these two key players, who would otherwise be considered allies against Microsoft, even more at odds than they were before.
