Google sharpens ax for Chrome Frame - CNET
Summary
Googles controversial Chrome Frame, a secure Internet Explorer plug-in that fought to bring the modern Web to legacy versions of Internet Explorer, will soon be going the way of Reader, Wave, and other Google projects not deemed worthy of a future. Google said that its lack of appeal was because the use of browsers that support modern Web site technology has advanced far enough beyond where it was in 2009, when Chrome Frame launched. Gary Schare, who worked on Internet Explorer while at Microsoft and now is the CEO of Browsium, a company focused on providing better browsing tools in the enterprise, said that from an enterprise perspective, Chrome Frame was unusable. The move indicates that Google is seeing enough growth in IE 9 and IE 10 usage to justify not competing with them on their own turf. Google did not give a final date for Chrome Frame, saying only that it would stop support in January 2014.
