Full summary

We encourage you to read our updated Privacy Policy: http://www.speedtest.net/privacy

Take a Speedtest directly from your Google Chrome toolbar to quickly test your internet performance without interruption. Measure how fast the pages you visit load with Web Speed.

Features:

  • Get your ping, download, and upload speeds within seconds
  • Measure how fast websites load

Permissions: Chrome will ask for permission to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit". Speedtest also measures how fast websites load with Web Speed, and it uses this permission to know how long it takes a given website to load. You can disable Web Speed in the extension settings.

IE Tab exactly emulates Internet Explorer, and enables you to load your web pages with different versions of IE (IE7 - IE11)

FULLY SUPPORTED IN WINDOWS 11 AND AFTER INTERNET EXPLORER IS REMOVED IN FEBRUARY 2023.

Please note that IE Tab for Windows does require the use of a separate executable, ietabhelper.exe. You can read more about that in the FAQ below.

-- FEATURES --

  • Create a list of URLs that will automatically open in IE Tab

  • Group Policy support for enterprise deployments

  • Securely use the old IE rendering engine

  • Edit Sharepoint documents instead of opening read-only
