Chrome Frame is a new open-source product from Google that promises to answer web developer dreams. It’s a free plug-in for IE6, IE7 and IE8 that turns Internet Explorer into Google's Chrome browser!
Interesting but will it make a huge change? I don't think so because majority of IE6 or IE7 (don't care for IE8 since this isn't half the trash as previous versions) still around today are installed and is used in big corporations. So the problem is that end-users do not have the privileges to install software on their desktop. Without Chrome, it's useless.
But what a great idea, anything to get rid of IE is always a good thing whether this benefits everyone as a whole or sneaky self-interest from Google.
Internet Explorer 6 will be SEVEN years old on August 27th. It came out a few weeks before the Twin Towers fell. It came out before the Nintendo GameCube. It came out before the first iPod.
It's about time to say farewell to IE6... why not now? use Firefox, IE7 / IE8 or even Google Chrome. There is enough better web browser to choose from.
When working with CSS, cross browser compatibility is also an issue. Mostly on Internet Explorer web browsers. A way many web designers/developers get around this problem is by targeting certain IE with it's own CSS stylesheet to fix styling issues since each version renders CSS differently. This method is by using an IE conditional comments placed in the HTML < Head > tag. read more »
