Some days ago, Google released an IE plug-in named Chrome Frame designed to let Microsoft’s IE browser use the features and performance of Google’s own Chrome browser.

For IE users, installing Google Chrome Frame will allow them to seamlessly enjoy modern Web apps at blazing speeds, through the familiar interface of the version of IE that they are currently using. That is to say, It can let IE 6, 7, or 8 use Chrome to render Web pages and execute their JavaScript programs. To use it, people must install the open-source plug-in, currently in the developer preview stage, and Web developers must insert a line of code onto their Web sites that engages Chrome Frame when a person visits the site.

When Chrome Frame appears, the owner of IE—Microsoft becomes nervous and angry of course. Thus, when get the information about Chrome Frame, Microsoft scrambled to ruin Google’s party, and warned users not to download the plug-in for Google Chrome Frame makes IE less secure. As is said by Microsoft, this plug-in allegedly increases opportunities for malicious behaviour.

Now, as a response to Microsoft, Google defends the security of its new Chrome Frame plug-in and claims that the software actually makes IE safer and more secure.

So, you see, here is just a word-war between Google Chrome and Microsoft IE. They both want to defeat the opposite and gain more browser market share. But what will happen next?
