Google Chrome Frame
“Bring open web technologies to your browser”
I was just looking at my Google Reader which is where most of my news-you-can-use comes through these days and I found an article about Google Chrome Frame – Runs IE8 10X faster! I was interested so I read on. It’s kind of funny that Google comes out with an IE plugin (BHO) but I must say (WOW).
I can say I’ve been using Chrome since the very beginning and the speed is undeniable. I never thought I would replace IE. I’ve always used it and everything (for the most part) works within it. Chrome is just fast and that was apparently enough because I use Chrome 100% now on every computer I use.
However I do miss IE and oddly enough, the Google toolbar mostly LOL. I don’t believe I will ever go back to IE permanently but it is a fresh of breath air to revisit the browser and when I go to others computers who only have the default IE in place, I can install this add-on and be happy with my visit and take credit when they later go on the internet and feel the extra speed boost.

I have been waiting on Chrome’s widgets for quite some time. So far I’ve tested 8 extensions and am plesantly surprised with the plugins. Firefox 3 has always had a slow reaction time & the plugins are great.
