Google made an interesting move in the fight with non compliant standards and lack of support of Internet Explorer by presenting Chrome Frame, a plugin that, according to Google

“is an early-stage open source plug-in that seamlessly brings Google Chrome’s open web technologies and speedy JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer”

This way people using Microsoft’s browser (specially IE6), can make a call to Chrome’s graphic processor engine and execute web pages at a higher speed and standard compliant.

In few words: it’s like Chrome running inside Internet Explorer. It’s open source, it’s a plug-in installed with Chrome, the browser and it will work with IE 6, 7 and 8.

It’s important to say that installing the plug-in itself is not enough. The web site developers need to include a simple code line calling for Chrome:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">

If the user doesn’t have Chrome or the plug-in, then a JavaScript library makes the detection and invites the user to install it. For the moment all we know is that Google will make the call to the plug-in for their Wave service, but still not more news for other services.
