IE browsing within Chrome

One of the major issues with Chrome, especially for those using Firefox, is the lack of add-ons. Many of us rely on our Firefox add-ons to do our daily tasks.

One of the first add-ons for Chrome is ChromePlus.

One of the additions ChromePlus provides is the ability to set the HTML renderer of a tab to be Internet Explorer, therefore allowing you to quickly test your site to ensure it displays as it should under Internet Explorer. Its also helpful if you encounter a site that only works in IE.

ChromePlus adds an extra 5 features in total, the other 4 are:
1. Double click tab to close page.
2. Mouse Gestures
3. Super drag
4. Download tools supported in context menu

For more details, see http://www.chromeplus.org

Hi,

Well, I find myself very confortable in using Firefox as this is hving lots of Add-ons and also it works best for you and also, it saves your time too.

I didn't really work on Chrome but, I will definitely work on it, as it added some more features in it.

Thanks!!

I can hear the laughter now..... I use Opera. It's kind of neat for a newbie.

Hey, Have you tried LunaScape ??? I'm not a big fan of it operationally, but, I found it good while I was developing Mum & Dad's website as I could flip between the variant binaries on the fly (I've forgotten what the actual term for it is... I'm on low dose morphine for two bulging disc's) and that helped during development.

Based on my experience Chrome load faster than Firefox but the reason why I remain on FF because of it's Add ons.
