Google Barks Back At Microsoft Over Chrome Frame Security 150
CWmike writes "Google hit back at Microsoft on Friday, defending the security of its new Chrome Frame plug-in and claiming that the software actually makes Internet Explorer safer and more secure. 'Accessing sites using Google Chrome Frame brings Google Chrome's security features to Internet Explorer users,' said a Google spokesman today. 'It provides strong phishing and malware protection, absent in IE6, robust sandboxing technology [in IE6 and on Windows XP], and defenses from emerging online threats that are available in days rather than months.' On Thursday, Microsoft warned users that they would double their security problems by using Chrome Frame, the plug-in that provides better JavaScript performance and adds support for HTML 5 to Microsoft's browser."

The new motto in Microsoft is "Windows 7 is not done, until Chrome Frame wont run".

Fear not!
Google has released a plug-in that automatically converts non-compliant analogies on Slashdot into either car or house-front-door-unlocked analogies
I believe it can optionally do automated library of congress conversions as well as append random critique regarding the nature of Slashdot's CSS.
