Yay, sort of.

You can now make IE into Chrome. That assumes you're allowed to install plugins.

Developers need only add a special tag in the HTML to flip the switch for the plugin, leave it out (or browser that don't know it) and the browser will use the regular IE rendering.

Here's to hoping folks will start installing it and rid the world of crappy IE's (I wouldn't be against a good one).

That is freakin great.  A lot of applications that'll fire up a webpage (for example to get to help documents) fire up IE instead of the default browser so this actually makes a lot of sense.

Huh?  I was just saying that I hate when apps use IE instead of the default browser.
