Google Chrome Frame was a plug-in designed for Internet Explorer based on the open-source Chromium project, first announced on September 22, 2009.[1] It went stable in September 2010, on the first birthday of the project.[2] It was discontinued on February 25, 2014 and is no longer supported.[3]

The plug-in worked with Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8 and 9.[3] It allowed suitably coded web pages to be displayed in Internet Explorer by Google Chrome's versions of the WebKit layout engine and V8 JavaScript engine. In a test by Computerworld, JavaScript code ran 10 times faster with the plug-in on Internet Explorer 8.[4]

Development of Google Chrome Frame was required in order for Google Wave (now Apache Wave), which requires HTML5, to function in Internet Explorer.

The first stable version supporting Non-Admin Chrome Frame was rolled out on August 30, 2011. The newer Chrome Frame installer ran at Admin level by default and fell back to Non-Admin mode if the user didn't have the necessary permissions on their machine.[5]
