If you spend any amount of time over at the Google Chrome Extension Gallery, you may have spotted a subtle change on some of the listings: the addition of a price tag.
The Google OS blog was lucky enough to nab a screenshot of the Most Popular page complete with "Free" tags, though when I checked the site, only the spotlight extension at the top showed prices.
There have been other indications recently that Google is gathering steam for the Web Store launch. Not long ago, I received an odd 500 error indicating that the Web Store was not available. Google has also been busy educating extension and Web app developers about accepting payments.
There's also the fact that today's stable channel update brought with it the ability to install apps, though that wasn't mentioned in Google's release post.
While no launch date has been revealed yet, stay tuned -- the Web Store Launch surely can't be far off now.
