Open in IE

Send HTML links and webpages directly to the Internet Explorer browser without copy and paste!

Open in IE is a Chrome extension designed to simplify sending HTML links and webpages directly to Microsoft's Internet Explorer without the hassle of copying and pasting. It offers four versatile methods: right-click context menu, a browser action button, customizable left-click with modifier keys, and automatic redirection based on specified hostnames.

The extension supports managed storage, allowing domain administrators to configure network-wide rules ensuring certain websites always open in Internet Explorer. It requires a native client built with NodeJS to execute OS-level commands and communicate with IE; however, it is currently incompatible with Chrome OS. This standalone tool streamlines workflows that depend on Internet Explorer compatibility with minimal user effort.

Note: Internet Explorer is a registered Microsoft trademark. This extension is independent and not affiliated with Microsoft or IE developers.

我不太理解,你已经使用了 NativeMessagingHosts 来通信,为什么我打开一个网页还要安装node~ 我为什么不直接使用 bat 来唤起其它的浏览器~你只是负责传送参数而已
