I personally think the market of add-on or web browser's extension.

Why? Because, web browser is second most software used after operating system by a normal computer users. If you are developer you use editor and web browser, if you are writer you use world processor and web browser, if you are market person you use trading software and web browser and so on. I mean web browser is something used by everyone.

We have written applications ( for computer and mobile device ) for most useful sotware - operating system to reach out our users. Now, it is time to target next software used by everyone. You might create a website but it will only be there until user do not close that tab. But, with extension, you will be in constant connection with user.

Currently thid market is uder estimate as many developer consider that it is not something that consider as programming. But, I think every website specific limit to connect users. and at that situation, add-ons will come to rescue.

I see the browser becoming the OS period. I didn't realize this until I got a ChromeBook and realized (with crouton) I can do everything I normally do on my Linux notebook.
Do you normally just watch Youtube and use Google Docs on Linux? Because that's about where the set of things you can do on both ends
All I need is a browser and a terminal since my development environment consists only of tmux/vim via Crouton chroots and Plex Web/Youtube/Google Music for entertainment.
Why use Chrome OS at all if you're just gonna virtualize Linux?
No with crouton you can install Linux distros in a chroot, it's a few keystrokes to switch to guest wm in practice however.
