In the ’90s, Internet Explorer was the browser that everyone used. It was standard on Windows computers, and it seemed as though it would be there forever.
But then came Chrome and Firefox, and IE started to lose ground. Today, Chrome is the standard browser for almost 60% of users worldwide.
That’s where this extension comes in: it lets you bring Internet Explorer into your Chrome browser. Right now, you can download the first version here. But we’d like to make it better, and that’s where you come in.
With your help, we can hone our product into something that works for everyone—whether they’re nostalgic for Internet Explorer or just want to try it out for the first time!
Chrome Extension For Internet Explorer
Send HTML links and webpages directly to the Internet Explorer browser without copy and paste!
This extension helps you to transfer links between your browser and Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The extension supports four different approaches to transfer links: 1) You can right-click on a link and choose "Send to IE". 2) You can press the browser action button to send the current page to IE. 3) you can configure left-click plus a modifier to send the link to IE. 4) you can configure hostnames to be sent to IE with a left-click (no modifier is needed). This extension supports managed storage so a domain administrator can configure all computers on a single network to open a particular website in Microsoft's Internet Explorer without the need to modify each machine separately. Important note: This extension uses a native client to be able to run OS-level commands. The native client is writing in JavaSvcript and uses an official NodeJS as its compiler. You need to install this native client for the extension to be able to communicate with Microsoft's Internet Explorer. This native client at this moment does not work on Chrome OS. --- Legal IE is a trademark of Microsoft Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.
