Google Chrome Frame

Google have released a Google Chrome Frame an open source Microsoft Internet Explorer plugin that allows pages to be rendered using Google Chrome engine inside Microsoft Internet Explorer.If you create web applications and like me spend hours fixing CSS/JS issues so Internet Explorer can work the same way as other browsers Google Chrome Frame is one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a long time.Of course users will have to install the plugin to get the benefits, and this does not mean that IE should be ignored and applications should still degrade gracefully.Having said that, finally IE users can benefit from Canvas based applications, get fast V8 JS engine for great web application performance and all the benefits that code with using Google Chrome.To get google chrome frame working in IE, first users have to install the plugin.  Developers need to add the following meta tag to the header section of their HTML document.

  1. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">

As a side note if anyone wants to use Google Chrome Frame for all sites (not just sites with the above mentioned meta tag) create a new DWORD registry key (if it doesn’t already exist) HKCU\Software\Google\ChromeFrame\OptInUrls with value of *
