google chrome frame

a bold and exciting new project from google: a plug-in for ie6, 7, and 8 that will override ie’s internal page rendering with google chrome’s superior webkit rendering and javascript engine. with chrome frame, developers have the opportunity to further decline their site’s users of encountering internet explorer’s plethora of issues.

enabling the plug-in is as simple as adding one line of code to the <head> of your html document


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

they have also provided google-hosted javascript for detecting and prompting users to install the plug-in, if it is not already installed.

now, we have keys into microsoft’s house and get to completely renovate, and i bet they are pretty pissed about it.

compiling and sharing code, ideas, and tools for making better websites and applications.
