Usage of severely-out-of-date versions of IE has dropped. Internet Explorer has become much better and Microsoft has embraced HTML5. The browser market is much different today than it was in 2009. "It’s unusual to build something and hope it eventually makes itself obsolete, but in this case we see the retirement of Chrome Frame as evidence of just how far the Web has come," Chrome engineer Robert Shield wrote in the Chromium blog. Chrome Frame runs on IE versions 6, 7, 8, and 9.īut today, Google said the plugin isn't needed anymore and it will stop receiving support and updates entirely in January 2014. Webpages containing a tag pointing to Chrome Frame switch automatically to "Google Chrome's speedy WebKit-based rendering engine" when the page detects that an IE user has Chrome Frame installed, according to Google. Google said Chrome Frame was necessary because users of IE, particularly its older versions, were missing out on HTML5, JavaScript performance improvements, and other modern Web technologies. In September 2009, one year after releasing the Chrome browser, Google unveiled "Chrome Frame"-a plugin that brought Chrome's underlying technology to Internet Explorer.
