IE Opener

Open legacy IE-only sites with the Internet Explorer engine, right inside Chrome.

IE Opener is an enterprise-ready Chrome extension that allows you to open legacy Internet Explorer (IE) web applications, corporate intranets, and ActiveX / MSHTML-dependent sites seamlessly from Google Chrome on Windows. [Two Operating Modes] 1. Tab Overlay Mode (Default): Synchronizes a native Windows WebBrowser control (MSHTML / Trident engine) directly over your Chrome tab area, providing a seamless tab-like experience without switching browsers. 2. External Edge IE Mode: Launches target URLs in Microsoft Edge with Internet Explorer mode enabled. [Key Features] - Automatic URL Rule Switching: Automatically switch registered domains or URL patterns to IE mode (supports wildcards and exclusion rules). - IE Document Mode Selection: Supports IE5, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, and IE11 rendering modes. - Bidirectional Cookie Sync: Synchronizes session cookies between Chrome and the IE engine. - Legacy Form Printing Presets: Adjust page margins and headers/footers directly from the control bar to prevent multi-page overflow when printing legacy forms. - Enterprise Site List (sitelist.xml) Support: Import and export Microsoft Enterprise Mode Site List XML files. [Enterprise Security & Administration] - Zero Browsing Data Transmission: Target URLs, browsing history, page contents, cookies, and credentials are processed strictly locally via native stdio pipes and are never transmitted to external servers. - Windows DPAPI Encryption: Optional saved credentials are encrypted locally using Windows DPAPI (CurrentUser scope)—never stored in plaintext. - Group Policy (GPO) Lockout: IT administrators can completely disable and lock the password manager feature via Windows Registry policy (DisablePasswordManager = 1). - Fixed SHA-256 Native Helper: Deploys a pre-built native messaging host binary with a fixed SHA-256 hash for easy EDR / AppLocker whitelisting (auditable C# source code is also included). [System Requirements & Trial] - OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11 (Requires installation of the companion Native Messaging Helper on Windows; no admin privileges required for per-user setup). - Free 14-Day Trial: Try all features free for 14 days with no credit card required and no automatic charges. Commercial licenses (Personal, Business 10-PC, Enterprise Site License, and Perpetual) are available. Official Website & Documentation: https://nichirin.monster/ie-opener/server/
