Display web pages using IE within Chrome. Use Java, Silverlight, ActiveX, Sharepoint, and more.

What is IE Tab?
IE Tab is a Chrome extension that replicates the Internet Explorer environment, facilitating access to features like Java, Silverlight, ActiveX and Sharepoint directly in Chrome. Through different versions of IE (IE7 - IE11), fully supported in Windows 11 and beyond, IE Tab maintains a secure hold on the old IE rendering engine for secure use. Its deployment options and support for URL and enterprise-specific grouping policies also enhance its utility.

Used to be the best, now they want subscriptions and its slow, plus it now requires extra downloads and permissions. There are plenty of secure options for free. Skip this.
