Chrome Plugin for ... IE?
Posted by: Nebuchadnezzar on September 22nd, 2009 @ 9:08PM

Chrome is rising but it's still only 5-6%. Safari is outrising Chrome mostly from what I've seen.

Personally, I think the idea is brilliant. The same people who won't ever upgrade from IE6 (or install a different browser) are those that happily click yes to any little pop up saying you need to install 'Such and Such' a plugin to view the page.

It's funny how Google is fixing Microsoft's crap for them. But really, Firefox is the best browser so people should just use that instead of Chrome, IE, or Safari.

I love FF, but I really like how each tab in Chrome is a separate process/instance so that if one crashes the remaining tabs remain unaffected.

chrome is so much better.

even firefox is slow and lagging for me whenever i try to browse the web.

From the article:
In describing the Google Chrome Frame plugin, engineers all but explicitly reference the Web-wide efforts to kill IE 6 due to its outdated standards. Microsoft has refused to drop support for the browser, leaving many in the blogosphere frustrated and searching for their own workaround solutions.


If you're a severely out of date browser that is slowing down the creation and adaptation of standards, yeah we'll still support you. But in case you're an Operating System that the majority of PCs run on, we're going to stop support because we want everyone to purchase our new OS.

Fuck you microsoft. Seriously.

I have had both chrome and FF crash on me, but once firefox went to 3.5 it seems to crash much more often, especially with extensive flash pages.
I still use firefox portable at work as it isn't always insisting on upgrading to the 3.5 separate process system.

I moved from FF to Chrome months (a year maybe?) ago and couldn't be more pleased.

Another Chrome user transferred from FF. I even get the developers build one so I get the latest and greatest (althought sometimes buggy).

My two cents...

Safari is being downloaded only because Ipod users aren`t un-clicking the box asking to download it when they update their software.

i think chrome is probably buggier than firefox for me, but it's so much faster it's worth it.
