Google Chrome Frame

Posted on September 22, 2009 by Michael Schurter

I maintain a web application that must support Internet Explorer 6, so I was delighted to hear about Google Chrome Frame.

Unfortunately their warnings of its alpha status seem to be well founded. The 2 show-stoppers I ran into fairly quickly were:

  1. Flash is difficult to install. (Tip: Try visiting: cf:http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)
  2. The Location bar did not always change to reflect the current page.

I’ll definitely be following this project closely as it may allow corporate users stuck on IE to use a different browser relatively easily.

    IE 6 is the satan of the internet. I am stuck with it. It makes me want to cry and hurt myself.

    Chrysler, why must you use windows proprietary software/code/stuff so I can’t use my applications in another browser?
