Want to use Wave in Explorer? No problem!

September 22, 2009 • 30 sec read


This post is over ten years old. Chances are, I've learned enough to have advanced my thinking about some of this stuff.

Google Wave is a really ambitious HTML5 app that would be virtually impossible to get running correctly in IE. Rather than telling Explorer users to go download and install another browser, which sounds like a huge pain, they tell people to just click here and get a plugin. That plugin, of course, is Google Chrome’s entire rendering engine. These people are my heroes.
