My customers still use Windows XP as their OS on which the newest version of IE is version 8. IE 8 does not support most of HTML5 features which are used in my software.
So I want to use Google Chrome Frame to solve this problem.
On the other hand my software also need to embed an ActiveX plugin to render sense which might not be supported by Google Chrome Frame. I know a extension named ActiveX for Chrome can make chrome support ActiveX plugins. I tested in the original google chrome, it works. But I do not know how to install ActiveX for Chrome extension to Google Chrome Frame.
Any reply will be thankful.

After google some web pages, I found the answer.
Enter gcf:about:version in IE.
right click the menu.
select review element menu item.
click the system icon of the popup window.
click new windows menu item.
Then you got a chrome window. Install the ActiveX for Chrome.

I use the Chrome in my laptop with Windows 7 OS, and the Chrome on Windows provides a Device Mode(shortcut is F12) so that it can simulate a specific mobile device to get and display a Web page in a Chrome tab as follow.
However, such Device Mode is only limited on a single Chrome tab, so when you close the tab and open a new one, the new tab get and show the web page as normal, not as in the Device Mode.
So my question is How to set the Device Mode permanently, and when I open a new tab in the Chrome, it runs on Device Mode by default. Is there any method or plug-in can help me to achieve it?
I believe that this is not applicable as Google created that mode for inspection purposes only not for navigating or viewing.
So you will need a smartphone simulator like the one which is provided by Android SDK or the IOS simulator which comes with XCODE on mac, or you can use a real smartphone of course, and you can inspect on it via your PC using ADOBE Edge Inspect extension on chrome.
Chrome inspector mode is designed with testing in mind, and isn't intended for regular browser use. You might try a device simulator tool, like what's included in Xcode or Eclipse IDE.
Hope this helps.
I think this is something what you are looking for

You can open devtool automatically with chrome switches, so i suppose that you can reach your goal with the correct one... our only problem is that chrome's switches are thousands... that's the documentation, good reading :D (unofficial documentation here)
I am working on HTML 5 Web Audio Input project. I want to test the project in android/Iphone but I researched that it only works in Google Chrome Canary. I am unable to find canary on Play Store/App Store. Can anybody give me the link?
Chrome Canary (Unstable) is now available for Android on Google Play.
Unfortunately, it is not available on the iOS App Store yet. However, you can use Device Mode in Chrome (including Canary) to emulate browsing on an iPhone.
Searching Play Store for 'Chrome' should return results for all three Chrome channels. Please note that unlike desktop, the Canary channel is called 'DEV' and uses an icon similar to the stable version.
We are using WebTwainX in our application where WebTwainX needs ActiveX to be enabled it supports only in Internet Explorer. How can I enable ActiveX in Chrome and Firefox so that WebTwainX works fine?
You cannot. It is a proprietary, platform-specific technology. Only Internet Explorer for Windows supports ActiveX.
By default, Google Chrome and Firefox web browsers do not support ActiveX controls. However, there are workarounds to enable ActiveX controls and get the required functionality based on ActiveX controls.
Google Chrome users can download IE Tab extension that acts as Internet Explorer emulator. It helps enable ActiveX controls in Google Chrome as it emulates IE by using the IE rendering engine directly within Chrome.Firefox users can install ff-activex-host plugin to enable ActiveX controls in the browser. This plugin makes it possible to use (host) ActiveX controls in Firefox and provides full access to the hosted control (events, functions, properties).
Can I create a plugin or an extension for Google Chrome MOBILE (Android Google Chrome)?
If not, can I create an extension for Google Chrome (desktop), which will add a button in Google Chrome bar. This button will open the page in another web browser (in my own web browser), so, this button should launch my own web browser.
Extensions are not supported, see: https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/faq .
Specifically:
Does Chrome for Android now support the embedded WebView for a hybrid native/web app?
A Chrome-based WebView is included in Android 4.4 (KitKat) and later. See the WebView overview for details.
Does Chrome for Android support apps and extensions?
Chrome apps and extensions are currently not supported on Chrome for
Android. We have no plans to announce at this time.
Can I write and deploy web apps on Chrome for Android?
Though Chrome apps are not currently supported, we would love to see great interactive web sites accessible by URL.
You can use bookmarklets (javascript code in a bookmark) - this also means they sync across devices.
I have loads - I prefix the name with zzz, so they are eazy to type in to the address bar and show in drop down predictions.
To get them to operate on a page you need to go to the page and then in the address bar type the bookmarklet name - this will cause the bookmarklet to execute in the context of the page.
edit
Just to highlight - for this to work, the bookmarklet name must be typed into the address bar while the page you want to operate in is being displayed - if you go off to select the bookmarklet in some other way the page context gets lost, and the bookmarklet operates on a new empty page.
I use
zzzpocket - send to pocket.
zzztwitter tweet this page
zzzmail email this page
zzzpressthis send this page to wordpress
zzztrello send this page to trello
and more...
and it works in chrome whatever platform I am currently logged on to.
Some extensions like blocksite use the accessibility service API to deploy extension like features to Chrome on Android. Might be worth a look through the play store. Otherwise, Firefox is your best bet, though many extensions don't work on mobile for some reason.

Just use a different browser.
Follow the steps given below to install Chrome extensions on your Android device.
Step 1: Open Google Play Store and download Yandex Browser. Install the browser on your phone.
Step 2: In the URL box of your new browser, open 'chrome.google.com/webstore’ by entering the same in the URL address.
Step 3: Look for the Chrome extension that you want and once you have it, tap on 'Add to Chrome.’
The added Chrome extension will now be automatically added to the Yandex browser.
I imagine that there are not many browsers supporting extension. Indeed, I have been interested in this question for the last year and I only found Dolphin supporting add-ons and other cool features announced few days ago. I want to test it soon.
I am fairly new to writing code, but I played around with some chrome apps which use WebSQL for DB. I decided to learn IndexedDB, but needed something more visual, to help me out. WebSQL database entries can be easily seen in in resources tab in "debugger", but indexedDB database is not shown there.
Chrome is v17, OS Ubuntu 11.10
Is there a workaround for this( plugin or anything else) ?
If you use Chromium or the dev channel of Chrome you can enable an experimental Dev Tools feature to surface IndexedDB in the Resources panel.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/100132233764003563318/posts/7pbJUZCGk8U
In chrome, click on developer tools or use ctr+shift+I
Click on the application menu
Right click on IndexDB
Click Refresh IndexDB
Then you will see your database content.
The accepted answer is 10 years old, mentioning experimental DevTools. So, I decided to rewrite answer.
In Chrome, press F12 or click application menu > More Tools > Developer Tools to open Chrome Developer tools.
Go to Application tab.
On the menu left, expand IndexedDb under Storage section and you will see your IndexedDb content.
