Turn Internet Explorer into Google Chrome

As the battle between Google and Microsoft continues to wage, Google have once again pulled another trick out of the bag to undermine Microsoft. This time in the form of an add-on for Internet Explorer.

Users can download and install the plugin into their Internet Explorer installation which essentially hands over the rendering of the page to the WebKit engine underpinning Chrome.

It works on a similar principle to the widely-used IE Tab plug-in for Firefox, which uses Internet Explorer to render pages that are incompatible with the Mozilla browser.

The search giant claims this will lead to improved browser performance for IE users, thanks to a faster JavaScript engine, support for HTML 5 and better CSS handling.

When do users go online, what is the first website they go on, how long are they on for, etc.
