Google Updates Chrome Frame, Makes IE Better

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-make-it-worse dept.

superapecommando writes "Google updated Chrome Frame, a plugin that embeds the company's Chrome browser engine into rival Microsoft's Internet Explorer, to a beta version. As it did last year, Google cast Chrome Frame today as a way for IE users to instantly boost the notoriously slow JavaScript speed of their browser and let them access sites and web applications that rely on standards that IE doesn't support, primarily HTML5."

    I understand you have to be security and performance minded and that there are some issues with codecs and containers but aside from that is rendering HTML5 standards really that complicated?

    Before they are agreed upon, yes.. its really hard to render them.

    Any Custom Web App built by our company for either ourselves or our clients is 100% designed for IE.

    Well, there's your problem right there.

    I wonder how Microsoft likes being played at its own 'Embrace and Extend' game ;)
