Honest 836 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Google to users: Dump IE Indiatimes Infotech l 3 Jan l New Delhi Seems Google is going all out to promote its new browser Chrome. The company is reportedly asking users of its Gmail e-mail service to dump Microsoft Corp's Internet Explorer for its own Chrome browser or Mozilla Corp's Firefox. According to ComputerWorld, "When users of IE6 reach Gmail.com, a "Get faster Gmail" message appears in the Web-based service's menu bar. The message, in turn, links to a page on Google's website that touts Chrome and Firefox 3 as being "twice as fast" at running Gmail. Apparently, the Gmail site also showed a similar message to users browsing with Microsoft's IE7. However, Google has since discarded that version of the notice. Also, users running other browsers like Apple Inc's Safari and Opera Software ASA's were not shown the message. Currently IE7, Firefox 2.0 and later releases, Chrome and Safari are listed as the only supported browsers for Gmail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
