IE Tab - a small plugin that allows you to browse the Internet pages that are optimized for Internet Explorer, through other browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Flock). This is necessary when travelling across the network, you encounter sites that do not display the information correctly. The plugin allows you to open any site in a new or current tab of Firefox using the engine from Internet Explorer, as well as, if necessary, to transfer the current page to the above mentioned browser. Besides, the program provides the possibility to set up automatic opening of sites intended for the IE engine.

After installing the IE Tab, all you have to do is right-click on the desired page and select "Display page in IE Tab" from the context menu. You can also launch the plugin using the IE Tab icon in the status bar (at the bottom of the Firefox browser window) or display a special icon in the navigation bar. The page will reboot "in Internet Explorer style" while remaining in Mozilla's browser window.

IE Tab allows seamless browsing of Internet Explorer-optimized webpages directly within different browsers like Firefox and Flock.

IE Tab is a web browser extension. It is basically for the Google Chrome browser. However, it works in every Chromium browser.

This extension allows users to view pages using MSHTML, the Internet Explorer browser engine. It is highly necessary for those websites which have special rendering properties to Internet Explorer. It currently has the GNU GPL license.

This extension works as an emulator for emulating the Internet Explorer environment inside the Chromium browser. However, it needs a separate executable file named ietabhelper.exe.

Users can create a custom list of URLs that will automatically open in the IE Tab each time. It also has additional group policy support for enterprise development. It can use Java, Silverlight, and ActiveX in Chrome seamlessly. Additionally, this extension never collects any user data.

IE Tab is wonderful! Now I don't have to deal with issues that come up when I'm using my favorite browser. I prefer Firefox, but sometimes websites don't always display correctly. I didn't realize what the issue was until I came across IE Tab. Apparently they are optimized for Internet Explorer. Now I can keep using the browser I prefer without dealing with optimization issues.

I think this software is very good because it has special versions and features like Group Policy support for enterprise deployments, Edit Share point documents instead of opening read-only.

Honestly... a little stupid. Why would I download an extension in Chrome to open websites on Internet Explorer. Wouldn't it make or sense to just install Internet Explorer? I guess if for some reason I don't have Internet Explorer and just had Chrome.. or if I had a website that doesn't work on Chrome, then maybe it makes sense. But for the most part, it just seems like an unnecessary hassle.

IE Tab is a useful software for web developers, as it allows them to view web pages in an Internet Explorer environment inside Chrome. It's easy to install and use and it works reliably. I've been using it for a couple of months and so far I've never encountered any major issues. I've found it to be quite helpful when needing to test a website in IE for compatibility reasons. It's also great for viewing websites which require a specific version of IE. It has a good feature set and the updates are frequent. Overall, it's a great tool that can save time and effort when dealing with IE-specific websites.

IE Tab is a great tool for testing web pages in Internet Explorer without leaving your current Chrome window. It's quick and easy to use, and the interface is intuitive. The emulation is also quite accurate, so you can trust that you're seeing the same as you would in a real IE browser. It's also nice that you can save different IE Tab profiles for different websites. I've found that it occasionally lags, but overall it performs well.

IE Tab is a browser extension that allows users to view websites in Internet Explorer mode within other web browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox. The software is designed to help users avoid opening multiple browsers or switching between different internet browsers. The main feature of this software is its ability to render IE-only web pages and run ActiveX controls. This extension is particularly useful for businesses and organizations that use legacy web applications that only work with Internet Explorer. Other features include a customizable list of websites that automatically open in IE Tab mode and options to switch user agents.
