Lately I’ve been hooked on Google Chrome. Chrome’s built in inspector even fills in nicely for FF’s robust Firebug extension. But for browsing, I’ve really missed the ability to quickly add bookmarks to my Delicious account. Sure, I can add the delicious bookmarklets to Chromes bookmark bar, but then I need to leave that ugly bar across the top at all times. I’d much prefer it across the bottom, in cute icon form!

Turns out, it’s really quite simple to create an extension for Google Chrome, so I created the Delicious Chrome Extension. Once installed it will add two familiar Delicious buttons to the bottom left corner of Google Chrome:

Setup:

You must be using a recent trunk build of Chrome or the Chrome dev channel release.
Download and unzip the featured delicious-chrome-extension.zip file.
To enable the support for extensions, edit the target field of the shortcut you use to launch Google Chrome. Right-click on the Chrome shortcut, select “Properties” and append to the Target field a space followed by:
–enable-extensions –load-extension=”c:\path-to\delicious-chrome-extension”

Installation info and the permanent home for the Delicious Chrome Extension can be found on Google projects: http://code.google.com/p/delicious-chrome-extension/

Hi, I’m keen to use this extension. I’ve got it installed, but when trying to login it does nothing … I just get a spinning/progress icon.

Philip, you’re using a different delicious extension. I’ve tried that one and get the same login problem you mention. Mine is much less complex, leaving litle room for fail: http://code.google.com/p/delicious-chrome-extension/
