It’s yet another war of the browsers, I suppose and I think Google, though looks calm and quiet, is furiously paving its way to destroy everything that comes its way. This time, Google has found a way to let users experience the power of Google’s web browser, Chrome on Internet Explorer itself by making a plugin called ‘Google Chrome Frame’ for IE.
Google launched ‘Google Chrome Frame’ claiming it have the ability to seamlessly integrate itself with Internet Explorer and provide better browsing experience with speedy Javascript engine. Google’s official blog stated that:
With Google Chrome Frame, developers can now take advantage of the latest open web technologies, even in Internet Explorer. From a faster Javascript engine, to support for current web technologies like HTML5′s offline capabilities and <canvas>, to modern CSS/Layout handling, Google Chrome Frame enables these features within IE with no additional coding or testing for different browser versions.
When Google Chrome Frame detects this tag it switches automatically to using Google Chrome’s speedy WebKit-based rendering engine. It’s that easy. For users, installing Google Chrome Frame will allow them to seamlessly enjoy modern web apps at blazing speeds, through the familiar interface of the version of IE that they are currently using.
Seems like that’s one way to actually make IE users get used to the Chrome interface and eventually use Chrome as their primary browser. We can’t say for sure, can we? Let say, it may not be entirely true but it sure has got potential to drift away some IE users. For more on ‘Google Chrome Frame’ check out the video:
