Google Chrome Frame needs to be installed, often not possible for the end-user. Besides, who wants to _install_ something to view a web page?

- ux-app 14y agoFrom what I understand Admin rights are not needed for a chromeframe install. I'm not sure how locked down a PC would need to be to prevent its installation.
- nestlequ1k 14y agoBut it solves "the big problem". In a nearly perfect way. As soon as I install Chrome frame, I can now use all my old legacy custom web apps that were built by my trusty 2005 ASP3 dev team (half of whom unfortunately have died of lung cancer or liver disease since then). And all new web apps pretty much invariably use the meta tag for Chrome Frame, I can continue using whatever site I want. The IT team just has to spend the 2 hours, 2 days, or 2 months to figure out how to roll out the update. No matter how much time they spend, it will be worth it in the long run. Now we don't have to upgrade from XP for another 10 years.

- nestlequ1k 14y agoWell, you know.. besides that.
