IE Tab for Chrome - Add Internet Explorer to Chrome
Integrating IE Tab Classic into Google Chrome
Are you seeking a way to utilize Internet Explorer functionality within the Google Chrome browser? The IE Tab Classic extension provides a straightforward solution for achieving this integration.
Installation and Configuration
The installation process is remarkably simple. Simply click the “Install” button when prompted by the confirmation window.
Upon completion of the installation, a post-installation message will appear from your address bar. This message highlights key aspects of accessing IE Tab Classic.
While immediate use is possible, reviewing the settings is recommended. Access these options through the “Chrome Extensions Page” initially…
The settings for IE Tab Classic are categorized into three distinct sections. It’s advisable to keep the “Enable IE auto loading” option activated. However, changing the “Address bar Icon behaviour” to “Popup Menu” is suggested for improved usability.
Note that with the default “Address bar Icon behaviour” setting, the icon functions as a basic toggle for IE Tab Classic.
Consider identifying websites or specific pages you want to consistently load within IE Tab Classic while you’re in the settings. You can add these to the auto-load list now…
The second tab allows you to define an “Auto Load” list for websites. Select “Add” to open the entry form. Pay attention to the message at the bottom; the “Popup Menu” setting from the first tab will prove beneficial.
This is the form used to input website URLs…
If you wish to automatically load only a specific webpage, rather than an entire website, you can add those addresses in the third tab. Click “Add” to access the corresponding entry window.
Here’s the form for specifying individual webpages…
Using IE Tab Classic
Now, let’s observe IE Tab Classic in operation. A page from How-To Geek is currently rendered using Webkit. The “IE Icon” is visible in the address bar; clicking it reveals a drop-down menu allowing you to switch to IE within the current tab or open the page in a new IE tab.
The drop-down menu provides easier access to these options. Observe the difference in text rendering before and after switching…
In our example, we chose to switch to IE in a new tab, resulting in a noticeable change in page rendering. Clicking the “Address Bar Icon” again displays a different drop-down menu, offering options to revert to Chrome (in the same or a new tab) and/or add the current webpage or website to the “Auto Load” lists.
Here’s a closer view of the IE Bar itself…
From left to right, the buttons control pinning the IE Bar, accessing settings, refreshing the webpage, minimizing the IE Bar, and closing the entire Chrome/IE tab.
When minimized, the IE Bar appears as a light blue bar with a “Black Arrow Button” to restore it to its normal view.
Adding a specific webpage to the “Auto Load” list prompts a confirmation message…
This is the confirmation message displayed when adding a website to the “Auto Load” list…
