IE Tab Extension - Use IE Features within Chrome

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.

I was having trouble installing IE Tab on a remote computer. I sent an email to support . I was hoping to hear back from them within a day or two. I couldn't believe it when I received a response in a matter of minutes. After a couple of more quick responses, Don had me up and running. I would have given six stars if that were an option. Thanks again Don!
