Open in IE - Simplified Link Transfer
Open in IE is a convenient Chrome extension designed to facilitate the transfer of HTML links and webpages directly to Microsoft's Internet Explorer, eliminating the need for tedious copy-pasting. With four versatile methods for sending links, you can effortlessly transfer your content:
- Right-click Action: Just right-click a link and select "Send to IE".
- Browser Action Button: Use the button to send the current page directly to IE.
- Custom Click Action: Set a left-click with a modifier key for quick transfers.
- Hostname Setup: Send links from specific hostnames with a single left-click, no modifiers required!
Additionally, the extension features managed storage, which allows a domain administrator to pre-configure settings for all network machines, ensuring consistent operation without individual setup hassles. Please note, a native client is required for communication with IE. This extension is not affiliated with Microsoft.
