vba - Using Chrome browser instead of InternetExplorer.Application

I know how to work with Excel VBA and IE, but I would like to know if it's possible to work with Google Chrome, since I find it faster than IE.

Here's what I mean specifically:

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

Can I substitute this with something that will launch Chrome instead of IE?

Google Chrome does not provide a Visual Basic interface like Internet Explorer does, so you cannot access any of it's properties (e.g. Document). You can launch chrome at a specific address just by passing to the executable.

For example:

Dim path As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles)
Dim executable As String = Path.Combine(path, "Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe")

Process.Start(executable, "http://google.com")
