Full summary

This extension provides OCR for users of Read & Write for Google Chrome. You should not install this extension unless you want to enable the new screenshot reading functionality released in December 2016

IE Tab exactly emulates Internet Explorer, and enables you to load your web pages with different versions of IE (IE7 - IE11)

FULLY SUPPORTED IN WINDOWS 11 AND AFTER INTERNET EXPLORER IS REMOVED IN FEBRUARY 2023.

Please note that IE Tab for Windows does require the use of a separate executable, ietabhelper.exe. You can read more about that in the FAQ below.
