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.

* 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
* Use Java, Silverlight, and ActiveX in Chrome seamlessly
-- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --
1. Why do I have to install ietabhelper.exe?
IE Tab uses the Internet Explorer rendering engine. This rendering engine can't be directly accessed from a Chrome extension, so we need a helper process to communicate between the Chrome extension and the rendering engine.
2. Did IE Tab always require this extra program?
No. Chrome used to support a technology called NPAPI (the Netscape Plugin API) which allowed extensions to access local computer resources. IE Tab used to use that functionality to access the Internet Explorer rendering engine. But Chrome removed NPAPI support, so we were forced to implement a new solution, and that solution requires a separate helper executable. From a technical standpoint, the only real change is that our code moved from an NPAPI .DLL file to a helper .EXE file.
3. Is the IE Tab Helper application safe?
Absolutely! IE Tab has always used native code, and we have always treated the security of our 2+ million users very seriously. So you can rest assured that this helper executable is secure and trustworthy.
4. I'm an enterprise customer, how do I deploy the IE Tab Helper automatically?
We have enterprise deployment options, please contact us at [email protected] for details.

- I am using the trial version of IE Tab. I am trying to use IE mode in Edge but, it has issues with Google OAuth2; an error. I require IE mode because a few hardware devices for work uses an outdated plugin that only works with Internet Explorer, and Windows. IETab works with Google OAuth2 which is adding a layer of protection to the outdated configuration page. I wish the IE plugin was free or a one-time purchase, also wish the firmware for the hardware device could be upgraded but, IE Tab is working better than Edge IE mode and, time is money. Still, it is a high yearly cost so, I am giving it three stars. Only use and pay for it if you have no other option.

- Blackfish Software delivered the best support I’ve ever experienced. Their team worked diligently, 7 days a week, with daily follow-ups until my issue was fully resolved. Thanks to their outstanding dedication, our company can continue working despite the need for Internet Explorer, while giving us time to focus on transitioning to a modern browser in the coming years. Absolutely exceptional support!

- Not worth paying. Just use Edge browser with "Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)" set to allowed in settings.

- IE Tab was critical in setting up access to some older software that requires running in IE mode. I really appreciate that IE Tab exists for both Windows and Mac. The IE Tab works seamlessly, and the Blackfish staff were really helpful when I needed some help with a customer service question.

- Do not work with local IP. Very strange
- Customer Service
- I was having trouble installing IE Tab on a remote computer. I sent an email to support . I was hoping to hear back from them within a day or two. I couldn't believe it when I received a response in a matter of minutes. After a couple of more quick responses, Don had me up and running. I would have given six stars if that were an option. Thanks again Don!

- Addon Land
- This is great! So easy to use and integrated directly in Chrome. So what if it's a free trial, it's way cheaper than the stupid games you are all paying for, sheesh!
- marche mrfrais
- If you're looking for an alternative to IE Tab in Google Chrome (to render web pages that require Internet Explorer's engine), use Microsoft Edge (IE Mode) How to Use IE Mode in Microsoft Edge: Open Microsoft Edge. Go to Settings > Default browser. Enable Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode. Reload any website and right-click to choose in the menu choose Reload in Internet Explorer mode, or set specific sites to always open in IE mode. Thanks me later

- The same thing can be done in Edge by using the system IEChooser exe built in Windows...This app had me reviewing a 5 when it was free. I would even pay a one-time fee to use it, but not a monthly fee lol... Appreciate the 6 years I used it for free and will to send you some cash for that time also. Having monthly fees on monthly services is not the future I want in computing.
