Enable open web technologies in Internet Explorer

Google Chrome Frame is an open source plug-in that seamlessly brings Google Chrome's open web technologies and speedy JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer. With Google Chrome Frame, you can:

• Start using open web technologies—such as the HTML5 canvas tag—right away, even technologies that aren't yet supported in Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8, or 9.
• Take advantage of JavaScript performance improvements to make your apps faster and more responsive.

Get started with Google Chrome Frame

To get started, download the stable version of Google Chrome Frame.

You can detect whether or not your users have installed Google Chrome Frame by adding a single tag to your pages.

• If Google Chrome Frame is not installed, you can direct your users to an installation page.
• If Google Chrome Frame is installed, it detects the tag you added and works automatically.

For more information, read our FAQ and Developer Guide.

If you're a system administrator, see the Chrome Frame Administrator's Guide for information on deploying Google Chrome Frame in your organization.
