Google Chrome is really the buzz of this week with many bloggers were so excited to talk about the release of Google's first ever web browser. While many people anticipate more plugins in the near future like they experience with Firefox, there have been few developments of tweaks or hacks to further improve Google Chrome functionality and more are expected to come soon. Such developments encourage other developers to integrate Google Chrome into their applications.
Amit Agarwal over at Labnol had done some modifications on IE view in order to integrate Google Chrome into Firefox browser. This plugin will effectively enable an option for a Firefox user to open an external link by using Google Chrome from Firefox browser. The only downside is this little hack cannot run together IE View as there are variables conflict. As far as I'm concerned, it's not a problem at all since I use Internet Explorer occasionally and I don't use IE View.
To install this hack, first you need to download opengooglechrome.xpi. Once finish, simply drag and drop it on your Firefox browser. After that there will be a pop-up that requires you to install it and you are required to restart your Firefox browser right after that.
We are not done yet but we are almost there. Next you need to go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Options and browse for the chrome.exe file on your Vista / XP / Windows 2000 machine.
In Windows XP, Google Chrome installs under \Documents and Settings\
\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\ while in Windows Vista, Google Chrome installs in \Users\ \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\
That's it and you are good to go.
