Use Google Chrome in Internet explorer with Google Frame
Google Chrome Frame is an early-stage open source plug-in that seamlessly brings Google Chrome’s open web technologies and speedy #JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer. With Google Chrome Frame, you can:
- Start using open web technologies – like the HTML5
canvastag – right away, even technologies that aren’t yet supported in Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8.- Take advantage of #JavaScript performance improvements to make your apps faster and more responsive.
What is even more clever is that thanks to a special embedded tags in your html body, you can propose to your visitor to install this plugin, and thus increase market share of Google chrome. That’s a direct hit at Microsoft domination plans 🙂 (we own the file format, and runtime environment)
<body> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1/CFInstall.min.js"> </script> <div id="placeholder"></div> <script> CFInstall.check({ node: "placeholder", destination: "http://www.waikiki.com" }); </script> </body>
Adding this tag in <head> section of your blog is for users running Internet Explorer with Google Chrome Frame installed. This will automatically render yours pages with Google Chrome Frame instead of IE.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">
After that, you can visit any site and render it with Google frame by appending cf: to any http:// url’s,
cf:http://www.waltercedric.com/
Personally I will stick to Firefox/Chrome/Opera and use them when it make sense.
