Make "Add-ons" for Google Chrome Using Bookmarklets

Even though Google took their web browser Google Chrome out of beta last month, we can't help but feel like Chrome is still only half way to being a compete product at this point. Without RSS support, the ability to use add-ons, and gasp! no Mac version, Chrome still has a way to go before people give up Firefox for good and make a full switch.

However, despite Chrome's lack of features, its lightweight feel and speedy browsing have made it a popular choice as a Firefox alternative for light web surfing...especially the kind done on a netbook while killing time at Starbucks.
Unfortunately, no one knows when Google will release an update for Chrome that will provide add-on support. But until then, there is a way to at least simulate the use of browser add-ons. This is done using bookmarklets (small pieces of javascript code) which you can easily add to Chrome's bookmark toolbar.

Share in Google Reader - Share the web page you're on using Google's RSS Reader. There's also a Note This in Google Reader bookmarklet which lets you share the item while adding a note along with it.
Stumble it - Add this link and click on it whenever you want to Stumble a page you liked. Another way of stumbling a webpage can be found here.
Gmail This - Email any page using Gmail. For Google Apps Mail, try this instead. (You will need to replace "yourdomain.com" with your own domain name).
