The Google HTML5 plugin for IE6 might not alienate your audience.
- boucher 17y agoThe Google Chrome Frame plugin is hardly a panacea for old browsers.
- sblom 17y agoI installed Chrome Frame to make Wave work in IE8, and it ended up breaking Google Reader. Hardly a panacea, indeed.
- Tichy 17y agoI don't get it, though - surely if you are capable of installing a plugin, you are capable of updating your browser, too?
- mbrubeck 17y agoCorporate users would still need their administrators to install the plugin. But Chrome Frame could let change-fearing companies keep their users on IE6 (no retraining users or retesting existing sites), and use the Chrome engine only for sites that opt in to it.
- earl 17y agoI think part of the problem is MS encouraged people to write a bunch of ie6 specific sites. Thus, since ie doesn't AFAIK do side-by-side installs, the need to stay on ie6 for line of business apps.
