Google Brings Chrome Renderer, Speedy Javascript To IE

Posted by kdawson on from the behind-enemy-lines dept.

A month after we discussed Google's bringing SVG to IE, several readers let us know that Google is expanding the beachhead by offering Chrome's renderer and speedy Javascript execution in an IE plugin. This effort is in service of allowing IE to participate in Google Wave when that technology's preview is extended in a week's time. The plugin, currently in an early stage of development, is called Google Chrome Frame.

    Google are taking the matter into their own hands and actually putting resources towards improving IE, because they know that MS will not do it in any reasonable way.

    Prediction: when YouTube dumps Flash, the new 'YouTube installer' is this.
