IE Tab add-on

[alexr1090]

Wanted to share with everyone an add-on available in Chrome and Firefox called IETab.

What IETab does: Tricks servers into thinking that your Chrome/Firefox browser is actually an Internet Explorer browser, enabling you to view webpages that weren't designed to support Chrome and/or Firefox. In addition to 'tricking' servers, I believe that when you run IETab it also temporarily changes settings in your browser that make it act like Internet Explorer. Once you decide to close IETab these changes are undone.

This is a very cool add-on, I use it whenever I come across a webpage that for some reason isn't displaying right or gives me an error. I would suggest you give it a try

Firefox (Not yet availble for FF 4)

Chrome

It's not a new add-on. I used it years ago when sites still only supported IE and not Firefox. Not many sites are like that anymore though so there isn't much use for it.

I didn't say it was a new add-on, I just said I wanted to introduce you guys to it. I know it has been around for a long time, I used it back then as well. So what's your point? Yeah, no kidding most sites aren't like that any more, but there are some that are. There was one site in particular that I had to use for my classes last semester where this add-on came in handy, so yes, there is still use for it. Thanks for the reply though
