Google Chrome Supports Earth API Plugin
Google announced today that the Google Chrome browser now finally supports the Google Earth API plugin on Windows. This means you can load the growing list of Earth API applications such as EarthSwoop, Monster Milktruck, and many other GE Plugin applications from the Google Chrome browser. You may need to update Chrome to get the latest version (mine seemed to update automatically). I've tested Chrome and the plugin out on a bunch of the applications including the one seen here:
I haven't done a valid speed comparison between GE Plugin on Chrome verses Firefox yet. But, the version on Chrome seemed quite speedy. I'd like to hear about any speed comparisons. Anyway, it's great to see the plugin spread further. The next thing I would like to see from Google is for the GE Plugin to support the new Record Tour features from GE 5. After that, it would be nice to see the plugin and API support more functionality and layers from the full client. Oh, and somewhere in the mix having Chrome on the Mac might be nice. Google did release support for the GE plugin on Mac OS X last December.
