Today Google is releasing a new open source plug-in that will bring HTML5 and other open web technologies to Internet Explorer.  Based on Google’s Chromium Blog, this plug-in once installed will allow IE users to experience the speedy performance of Google’s WebKit-based rendering engine.   Introducing – Google Chrome Frame.

From Google’s Blog:

“We’re building Google Chrome Frame to help web developers deliver faster, richer applications like Google Wave. 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. Developers can’t afford to ignore IE — most people use some version of IE — so they end up spending lots of time implementing work-arounds or limiting the functionality of their apps.”

All you have to do is download the plug-in.  Once installed, Google Chrome Frame begins to function automatically.  Users will then enjoy web page rendering at blazing speeds, and as well as enjoy the latest web technologies at the benefit of using the same familiar interface of the IE browser they are  using.

With this in the works, it looks like Google is heating up the war against IE wouldn’t you say?
