“Mitchell Baker Chair of the Mozilla Foundation has come out
swinging against Chrome Frame, which is a plug-in for Microsoft’s
Internet Explorer providing Google Chrome rendering technology.
Microsoft has said that Chrome Frame isn’t a good thing and
Mozilla’s Baker sees it as leading to further browser fragmentation
as well.

“Baker sees Chrome Frame leading to a ‘browser soup’ where users
(and developers to some extent) are using a ‘soup’ of browser
components which could lead to control and potential security
issues.

“”I predict positive results will not be enduring and — to the
extent it is adopted — Chrome Frame will end in growing
fragmentation and loss of control for most of us, including web
developers,” Baker blogged.”
