Google Chrome and the Google Earth plug-in

by mickey on September 2, 2008

As you’ve probably heard, Google released “Chrome” today, their new web browser.  Thus far, I am very impressed with it — it’s amazingly fast.

However, I can’t get it to work with the Google Earth plug-in.  Considering that the browser is based on Webkit, and Safari didn’t yet work with the plug-in, it’s not a big surprise.  Still, it’s kind of sad that Google’s product can’t work in their own browser.

Anyone found a way to make it work yet?

Update: Google confirms that it doesn’t work, but promises an update is “coming soon”.

Remember…it took a few days for this plug in to work with FireFox 3.0. This was released as a beta product only a few hours ago. I also found it interesting to learn that most of the Google Teams are pretty disconnected hence why they don’t always play nicely with each other immediately after new releases.
