Google Chrome Frame
This plugin makes your IE use Chromes superfast javaengine (aka V8), and Webkit to speed up and make the browser better.At first there was a warning out from Microsoft saying it would make IE more open to attacks but Google have appearently fixed/patched that.

Computerworld - Microsoft's Internet Explorer zips through JavaScript nearly 10 times faster than usual when Google's new Chrome Frame plug-in is partnered with the browser, benchmark tests show.
According to tests run by Computerworld, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) with the plug-in was 9.6 times faster than IE8 on its own. Computerworld ran the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark suite three times each for IE8 with Chrome Frame, and IE8 without the plug-in, then averaged the scores.
Released Tuesday, Chrome Frame lets IE utilize the Chrome browser's WebKit rendering engine, as well as its high-performance V8 JavaScript engine. Google pitched the plug-in as a way to instantly improve the performance of the notoriously slow IE, and as a way for Web developers to support standards IE can't handle, such as HTML 5.

SunSpider benchmark results show IE8 with the Chrome Frame plug-in is nearly 10 times faster at rendering JavaScript than IE8 alone. (Lower scores are better.)

I haven't tested it yet, but I think it is a good initiative from Google in the long wait of IE9. A little bit surprised though that no one have made this earlier.
My questions...
Have anyone tested this one yet? ...and what did you think of it?
It's worth to install it?
