Google Chrome Frame

with one comment

Google has pulled the rug out of Microsoft’s feet! In a totally fascinating move, Google released Google Chrome Frame, a IE plugin which brings in WebKit rendering inside IE. When using this IE plugin, the page rendering is done by WebKit and Google’s fast JavaScript parser V8. But the Cookies, Browser History and Stored Passwords are still managed by IE. This allows for seamless shifting between sites.

The best part is, from a Web Developer perspective, we have to just add the following inside the <head> section:

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

If Chrome Frame is installed in the browser rendering this page, then it is used by default. Cool!

Check out the Wikipedia IE8 page to understand more about X-UA-Compatible.

Amazing work Google :-)
