Discover Similar Pages With Google Similar Pages For Chrome

One of the advantages of the Google Chrome browser is that Google is actively developing extensions for it. That’s an advantage because it ensures that users do not have to worry (that much) about data security and that popular Google services are available as extensions for the web browser. Google Similar Pages is an add-on for the Google Chrome web browser that can help users in the discovery of related or similar websites to the one that is currently viewed in the active tab of the Internet browser. This can be interesting for many users from users who like to find new websites like their favorite tech news blog to users who like to find additional temporary email services, file hosts or websites that review software.

This is usually something that can also be achieved with searches in the search engines but the extension makes the process comfortable thanks to its integration in the web browser. The extension will place an icon in the header toolbar of the Google Chrome web browser which will display a small overlay window upon activation that suggests four websites that Google has determined to be similar to the active one.

A click on the button at the Google main website for instance suggests Yahoo, Bing, MSN and Wikipedia. It is sometimes the case that some of the suggestions are not as similar as they could be. Google could for instance improve the suggestion for their homepage by removing MSN and Wikipedia and adding two search engines instead.

It would also be nice if there would be an option to display more than four suggestions for similar pages. Google Similar Pages is an extension for the Google Chrome 4 web browser. It is available at the official Google Chrome extension website where it can be installed directly.
