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 streamline the process of opening links and webpages directly in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser without tedious copy-pasting. It provides four convenient methods to transfer links: right-click context menu option "Send to IE", a browser action button for the current page, customizable left-click with a modifier key, and automatic hostname-based sending requiring no modifier.

Additionally, Open in IE supports managed storage, allowing domain administrators to configure network computers to open specific websites directly in Internet Explorer. The extension operates through a native client built with NodeJS, which is required for OS-level commands enabling communication with Internet Explorer. Note that the native client is currently not supported on Chrome OS. This tool is ideal for environments requiring legacy IE support and efficient link management.

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
