Google Chrome Frame: Run Chrome in your IE

Google has a solution for those stubborn users who still haven't upgraded from the 8-year-old Internet Explorer 6: let them run Chrome, Google's Web browser, inside IE.



On Tuesday, Google released Chrome Frame, a plug-in for Internet Explorer that lets people use Chrome from within Microsoft's Web browser. Chrome Frame essentially runs Chrome over IE.

​

The idea is to lure people away from Internet Explorer – especially the now-despised IE6. That's a feat even Microsoft, which has since released IE7 and IE8, has struggled to accomplish.

"Our biggest competition comes from our past browsers," Amy Barzdukas, Microsoft's general manager for IE marketing, told seattlepi.com in mid-August.

Google says Chrome Frame is a good way to experience HTML 5, the new version of the Web's core markup language, HTML. HTML 5 is still in progress, so no browser actually offers full support. IE8 supports some HTML 5 but IE7 doesn't, and IE6 was released way before HTML 5's time.

ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley asked Microsoft for a reaction to Google Chrome Frame, and got this response a day later:

With Internet Explorer 8, we made significant advancements and updates to make the browser safer for our customers. Given the security issues with plug-ins in general and Google Chrome in particular, Google Chrome Frame running as a plug-in has doubled the attack area for malware and malicious scripts. This is not a risk we would recommend our friends and families take.

(* Stupid Microsoft doesn't want people to use their browser with Google... >_< *)

So, use Chrome Frame at your own risk, perhaps?

1) I don't use IE :T

2) If I would, I wouldn't try this thing because of the security risks
