IE Tab is Awesome! (Display Internet Explorer specific webpages in Chrome)

IE Tab logo
Happened upon a great chrome extension called IE Tab. 

This app runs webpages specific to Internet Explorer in Google Chrome! So, I can now use OWA and view SharePoint pages using my chrome browser. Happy times and highly recommended. They also have an extension for the FireFox browser.

What Is IE Tab?

IE Tab for Chrome (and IE Tab 2 for Firefox) is a browser extension that allows you to use Internet Explorer to display web pages in a tab. This is useful in many cases where a web page requires Internet Explorer features. Here are some of the many uses for IE Tab:
  • Display web pages that require ActiveX controls.
  • Test web pages with IE's rendering engine.
  • Use Windows Explorer view to browse the local file system, with full Explorer support for icons, right-click menus, etc.
  • Use Outlook Web Access.
  • Use IE-only Sharepoint features.
