Boost your IE speed by ten times with Google Chrome Frame

You are so used to IE that you don’t want to try other web browsers, and you are tired of the Internet Explorer. You can boost the speed by ten times of IE by using Chrome Frame plug-in for Internet Explorer. It is an open source plug-in that brings HTML5 and other open web technologies to Internet Explorer. Tests conducted on Google Chrome Frame has vouched that this plug-in boost the java script rendering capability of IE8 by 9.6 times than IE8 own rendering engine.

 

What Chrome Frame does is that it lets IE utilize the Google Chrome WebKit rendering engine and V8 JavaScript engine. These rendering engines boost the Internet Explorer rendering capability. Now the natural question is why you need this plug-in? Recent JavaScript performance improvements and the emergence of HTML5 have enabled web applications to do things that could previously only be done by desktop software. One challenge developers face in using these new technologies is that they are not yet supported by Internet Explorer. This plug-in will help to run new web applications like Google Wave etc. smoothly in your browser which was not otherwise possible in IE with their native rendering engine. And as a bonus you get the speed as well. The Chrome Frame plug-in works with IE6, IE7 or IE8 on Windows XP and Windows Vista.

The plug-in is pretty lightweight around 500K. But it will then download around 10 MB of data on your machine. You may download it from Google site.
