Updated on Jun 01, 2009: The current developer version of Chrome supports extensions since May 12, 2009. I developed a PageRank Extension for Chrome, it's a really toolbar extension that automatically shows Google PageRank of the current web page.
Please ignore the method in this article. I disconnected the support for this bookmarklet.
With IE or Firefox, we can install Google Toolbar and Alexa Toolbar to check the Google PageRank and Alex Rank. Unfortunately, the current version of Google Chrome doesn't support any extensions such as Google Toolbar and Alex toolbar. So I developed a Javascript Plug-in that allows Google Chrome user to check the PageRank of the page you are browsing. It's a bookmarklet(a bookmark containing JavaScript) in practice, you can also use it in FireFox, Safari or Inetnet Explorer. See example:
To install Chrome Google Pagerank Plug-in, please do following steps:
javascript:void(window.open("https://www.chromefans.org/pr/?u="+escape(location.href), "PageRank%20Status%20-%20ChromeFans","width=405,height=120,top=0,left=0,location=0"))
Now the Javascript plugin is installed in your Google Chrome. You can click "PageRank Status" button to view the Page Rank information.
Because Google Chrome current version doesn't support for Google Toolbar and Alexa Toolbar, so it's a lot of vistors of PageRank Status Checker. Unfortunately, Alexa blocked my server IP since Dec 2008. When you check the PageRank, the page always shows Server Busy. :-(
I just modified the server script and released version 2.0, this version uses Widgets method to receive the Alexa data, it works fine now.

Hello Louis, I have added the alexa traffic details link on the PageRank page.
