Haven’t tried this out but could be useful. I have a digital mapping web application that I link to from a database and it has issues with IE but works perfectly in Chrome…
shell("C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -url http:google.ca")
Update : 24 June 2014 – just tested this out on a windows 8.1 device and seems to work
