Always use Google Chrome chrome meta tag for standard compatible page, is that a good idea?
I thought to add the meta tag always on all sites. This will launch a Google chorme frame to download for the already installed users. I see the benefits, but are there any problems or facts I need to know before I do this?
Is testing in google chrome enough or is testing in google chrome flags required ?
thank
Note: Do not mention current issues with "print problems" and "download". I'm sure they'll be fixed soon :)

The only argument I've seen for the chrome frame so far is Microsoft: "Google Chrome Frame works like a plugin, doubled the docking area for malicious and malicious scripting."
Also, you may run into problems with frames. If your page has a chrome frame, and someone has an iframed page on their site, you may run into some problems. More information: http://groups.google.com/group/google-chrome-frame/browse_thread/thread/d5ffe442658bc60e/e6d7a4c1c179c931?lnk=gst&q=iframe
You only need to test in Chrome Frame for (X) HTML, CSS and JavaScript ... basic stuff. If you are using AJAX (when trying to cancel the back button ) you are worried about caching, cookies (access via javascript) or other potentially browser-specific browser interactions. I suggest testing on the IE + CF platform ... at least until the CF team reports 100% compatibility between CF and IE.
Check out the CF Google group for more details.

Are there any concerns or facts you should know? Yes. Not all are installed using Google Chrome Frame .
You add a new user agent that you will need to test and debug without removing the need to test and debug user experience for other browsers (especially plain IE).
If you don't make the IE user experience equivalent to the Google Chrome experience, you're alienating a significant percentage of users. Depending on your site and the users expected, the impact of this can range from unwanted to unacceptable. If you are making the user experience equivalent, then there is no point in adding a meta tag.
