How to use Internet Explorer within Google Chrome Browser

Some websites, particularly ones which use ActiveX controls, are only compatible with Internet Explorer. If you use Google Chrome and don't want to open a separate Internet Explorer window for these websites, you can install a third-party add-on that runs Internet Explorer in a tab inside your Google Chrome Web browser. These add-ons only work with Windows, because they embed the Internet Explorer software on your system inside a tab. Each add-on is available for free from Google's Chrome Web Store.

Instructions

 Open the IE Tab, IE Tab Classic or Chrome IE Tab Multi add-on page on the Chrome Web Store at Chrome.Google.com.
         

    Click the "Install" button on the page to install your add-on, then click the "Install" button in the dialog that appears, to confirm.
     

    Browse to a Web page you want to use in Internet Explorer within Google Chrome.
        

     Click the "IE Tab" or "Chrome IE Tab Multi" icons on the toolbar or the "IE Tab Classic" icon in your address bar to view the Web page in an Internet Explorer tab inside Google Chrome.

Chrome Browser Set To Pass Firefox

Google’s Chrome browser has attained 20 percent market share, according to some counts

Most Internet researchers agree that Google’s Chrome web browser is steadily gaining market share at the expense of established rivals Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Two top browser researcher disagree on just how much market share Chrome has worldwide. StatCounter said Google claimed 20.7 percent browser share for June, up from 2.8 percent a year ago. Net Applications claimed Chrome actually corralled 13.1 percent, up from 12.5 percent through May.

Market share wars

More broadly, StatCounter said Firefox is next in line to be passed by Chrome at 28.3 percent, with IE at 43.6 percent. On the (much) lower end of the scale, Safari is at 5 percent, with Opera claiming 1.7 percent through the month. Net Applications meanwhile has IE at 53.7 percent, Firefox at 21.7 percent, Safari at 7.5 percent and Opera at the same 1.7 percent.

While there is a wide differential between both firms’ figures, it’s clear Chrome is gaining share and momentum. From Google Chrome officials own lips at Google I/O in May, eWEEK heard Chrome had racked up more than 160 million users, up from 120 million in December. If that trend holds true, Chrome should crack the 200 million mark in October.

Royal Pingdom crunched some numbers based on StatCounter’s stats and guessed Chrome could pass Firefox this November and IE by June 2012. Assuming Chrome’s ascent continues at its average growth rate over the past six months (consider that it took Chrome only two years to hit 10 percent share) Chrome could even hit 50 percent share by November 2012, Royal Pingdom said.

Acceleration


There are many reasons for Chrome’s upswing: accelerated release cycles, which means Google is putting snazzy new features that other browsers lack in front of users faster. Case in point: the Chrome Speech capabilities to enable voice search on the desktop.

Chrome advertising and marketing for the browser and Chrome Operating System have also been playing their parts in the growth. Google last year began advertising Chrome on ESPN.com, the New York Times and other high-profile websites for a year. In May, Google began pushing Chrome as the centre of users’ life experiences, planting a marketing seed for Chrome OS notebooks.

The first Samsung Series 5 Chromebook launched on 15 June, while the Acer AC700 machine won’t ship until mid-month. It’s unclear how many Series 5 Samsung sold through Amazon.com and Best Buy online. Google July made Series 5 Chromebooks available for flights in hotels.

Google upgrades Mac Chrome beta

Google updated the Mac beta of its Chrome browser, adding the support for extensions that had previously been available only in a less stable "developer" build.

Also now part of Mac Chrome's beta are bookmark synchronization, improved bookmark and cookie managers, and a task manager for handling the browser's tabs. The latter is useful since Chrome -- unlike most rivals -- runs each tab as a separate process to prevent browser crashes when one tab stalls. The task manager can be used to monitor Chrome's memory usage -- the each-tab-in-its-own-process approach consumes prodigious amounts of memory -- and kill a tab if it's unresponsive.

Google first added extension support and bookmark synchronization to a "dev" channel Mac edition of Chrome in early January. Before that, Chrome for the Mac had lacked important features, including extensions and sync, that were already available in the Windows and Linux editions.

Today's update was to version 5.0.307.7; current Chrome users can wait for the automatic update, which should kick in within the next 24 hours, or if impatient, can select "About Google Chrome" from the browser's "Chrome" menu to check for and then download available updates.

Patched seven security vulnerabilities in the production edition of Chrome for Windows. Google ranked three of the bugs as "high" in its severity scoring system. Access to information on those three flaws, as well as on one tagged "medium," have been blocked by Google, which regularly locks down details until it decides that a majority of Chrome users have upgraded to the patched version.

So, meet how such of an action process do you intend in Internet Explorer when you establish and attain consume of Chrome Frame?
Quite a lot, as it turns out!
Note: All tests carried discover on Windows Vista 64-bit.
I definite to verify Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 and wager what assorted Chrome Frame prefabricated when streaming the SunSpider JavaScript criterion test. For comparability I also ran the effort in Google Chrome 3 browser.
           IE7 using Chrome Frame is most 40 nowadays faster at streaming finished the SunSpider JavaScript criterion effort than IE7 alone.

Google airs Google Chrome on TV

Google has taken a new initiative to promote Google Chrome browser. Earlier there was news that Google chrome browser would come pre installed in Computers, just to increase its usage and popularity. I have Google Chrome installed at my office where I use Microsoft windows XP and at my home as well where I use Microsoft windows vista. I think the speed on the both the operating system is like lightning.

Google plans to make its first foray into the old-fashioned world of television advertising with spots promoting its Chrome browser this weekend.

Google Japan had already released a 30-second video promoting Google Chrome browser on YouTube, but the company will distribute that video through the Google TV Ads network this weekend as an experiment to see if it can drum up interest in Chrome, its new browser. Google said it's using the research it has done on measuring the relevance of television ads in order to place the Chrome ad appropriately.

Chrome was also featured as part of a huge ad on the front page of The New York Times' Web site Friday, with several different videos promoting the browser. Those are also available, of course, on YouTube.

For a consumer brand of sits size, Google does relatively little advertising. It put Chrome ads on YouTube in January, but "house ads" are a little different than network television exposure. Likewise, T-Mobile advertises the "G1 with Google" in hyping up the Android-powered G1, but that's not exactly the same as making Google the focus of the ad.

Google Chrome may come pre installed on Computers

Google is already working on Chrome’s Mac and Linux version, now it may come with pre installation with Windows XP, Windows Vista and all other Operating systems.

Google launched its beta version on 2 September 2008, I downloaded it very next day, I tested it, Liked it..The speed is good like a fast lightning. But it lacked some of the features which made me to stick to my Current Browser i.e. Mozilla Firefox. But things changed, after three months of its release, Google has removed the beta tag from Google Chrome.

With the final version released, it seems that Google will seriously consider setting up deals with OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer) which will see the Chrome browser pre-installed on new computers. This, of course, is how Microsoft’s Internet Explorer became the most popular Web browser.

Sundar Pichai, Google Vice President, Product Management, told The Times of London:

“We could work with an OEM and have them ship computers with Chrome pre-installed. We will throw our weight behind it. We’ve been conservative because it’s still in beta, but once we get it out of beta we will work hard at getting the word out, promoting to users, and marketing will be a part of that.”

Google certainly needs something to help Chrome gain any traction in a market dominated by two big players. Internet Explorer currently enjoys a 71 % market share, while Firefox, and has near about a 20 %share of market share and chrome with less than 1% of market share.

Internet Explorer seems untouchable purely because people bizarrely seem to trust Microsoft and so stick with the browser that is pre-installed when they buy their computer. This is why it makes perfect sense for Google to copy that strategy. However, taking any market share from Firefox may be easier.

I read on Matt’s Blog …he stated that Google Chrome could be a strong competitor to Mozilla Firefox, chrome is lacking behind because of add-ons and extensions which Firefox has, this is the reason why users are still sticking to Firefox and stopping them to switch browser. Once the beta testing is done and dusted, and the most obvious bugs have been squashed underfoot, then Google could turn its attention to providing the same level of usability and interactivity that Mozilla currently does with Firefox

If the end of 2009 finds us with a stable and bug-free version of Chrome which is being pre-installed on new computers and can be used with Mac and Linux operating systems, then I think it has a chance. Google very rarely fails in its quest to move in to new markets, so I wouldn’t bet against Chrome making it big yet, despite it having a less-than-auspicious start.

Firefox is leading the Browser Market

I was going through Matt Cutts blog….few days back … he has written a post about Browser market. Honestly speaking I was not at all surprised to know that Firefox was leading the market. Personally I like Firefox… and who will not like a browser which has more than 300 add ons and extensions. I have downloaded many of them and they are wonderful. Like one of them is of colorful tabs, it will highlight the tab in which you are working and there is one more that you can change between tabs through keyboard… I know that you can do that in other browsers as well… but what you can’t do is …you can’t switch between the last tab you used and the one you are working on. When you press ctrl + tab, it will take you to the next tab which you have opened, but after installing that add-on, you can switch between the last tab you used and the one you are using currently. This add on is really helpful for the people like me, who open so many tabs in one window.

I felt bad for Internet Explorer it’s losing its market day by day… there was a time, when people only used Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has 26.07% of market share. Safari is doing well with 6.48%. And Google Chrome is new market. I was wondering, Google knew well about the market and users…Google knew that browsers are so advanced with so many extensions and add ons, but still it launched Google with not much advanced features. What really amazed me is …still Camino is used in the market??

Following is the market share of Browsers >

Firefox            57.58%

IE        26.07%

Safari   6.48%

Chrome           5.11%

Opera  2.35%

Mozilla            1.44%

SeaMonkey     0.48%

Mozilla Compatible     0.18%

Konqueror       0.13%

Camino            0.04%

Google Chrome and its Missing Add-ons

The reason of Google’s low market share is missing add-ons and extensions. No doubt Chrome browser is a fast Browser. But since its launch, it has lacked add-ons and extensions that provide additional functionality -- one of the key features found in Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla has the highest market share in the market. Mozilla is loaded with extensions and add-ons.

Few days back, Google launched its bookmark manager, hmm…  I think finally Google has realized that to get position in the market , it has to launch add-ons and Extensions for the user who are already using Mozilla’s Firefox and its add-ons.

Today, Google Chrome still doesn't have extensions, but Google developers now have a design document that signals the start of a roadmap leading to extensions.

And it's taking a different approach from Mozilla. Firefox 3.x has made great strides in improving how its extensions are more secured, and Mozilla continues to expand that effort. Chrome's developers, however are trying to start with a secure mechanism for obtaining and updating extensions from day one.

Initially, SSL, signed extensions and a central repository for auto-updates and validation all appear to be part of the plan. Also included are

"We will provide a service designed to reduce burden to developers by reducing traffic costs and providing a robust, secure mechanism for auto-updates that they can easily leverage rather than having to handle the logistics on their own site," Chrome's developers wrote in the document. "It would also provide authors with a way to easily create and verify their extension packages and manifests."

"However, developers will always have the option to package, sign, and host extensions on their own site," they added.

The approach also entails a blacklist of known malicious or harmful add-ons, which will be disabled by the browser. The blacklist will be maintained by Chrome's central service, according to the document.

Despite the additional steps to simplify and layer more security on the process of rolling out extensions, the news still indicates the lack of a cross-browser standard API set for add-ons/extensions, which could enable build-once, deploy-everywhere scenarios.

Google Chrome: Plug In Support Updated; Watchdog Slams ‘Privacy Threat’

We’ve been loving the speedy operation of Google’s Chrome browser, but a few glitches - mainly to do with plug in support - have been holding us back from making it our number one browser.

The lack of an adblock plugin has been annoying us, and as power users we still prefer the power and flexibility offered by Firefox’s arsenal of plug ins and add ons.

Google has acknowledged that there’s been problems with Chrome’s support for plugins used to play videos and show PDFs and have just released a new releases which they claim is “packed with plugin fixes,” with early developer-channel users noting a dramatically improved plugin performance.

Mozilla bounces backs from Chrome challenge

Firefox surpassed a 20% share of the browser market last month, breaking its own records.

The figures, reported by web metrics firm Net Applications, reveal that for two weeks in October the company accounted for 20.6% of all monitored browser traffic.

Despite this, Firefox closed the month with an average traffic share of 19.97%, falling just short of the magic number.

The report will come as good news to Mozilla, which has seen its share bounce back following a half percentage point fall in September, due to the introduction of Google's Chrome browser.

At the contrasting ending of the scale, dominant browser Internet Explorer has seen its share fall 71.52% to 71.27%. The fall marks it out as the browser with the fastest declining market share.

Chrome was also hit by Firefox's gain, with the buzz surrounding its September launch fading, resulting in its share falling to 0.74% from 0.78%.

Indeed the only other browser to to gain during October was Opera, which jumped from 0.69% to 0.75%.
