Internet Explorer Security Fix: Chrome + IE Tab
To use Engage QM Integrated with the Google Chrome browser, you must install the IE Tab extension on all Chrome browsers that will use Engage QM Integrated. This extension allows a Chrome tab to emulate Internet Explorer. The IE Tab extension is available from the Google Chrome Web Store or directly from the product vendor, Blackfish Software. IE Tab for Mac & Chromebook uses remote servers to render the web pages. That can only be accessed from your local network. But IE Tab provides a means of sending all requests back through your local computer to access those URLs.
IE Tab for Chrome has long been used as a means of having both the security benefits of Chrome and the ability to use web based applications that require Internet Explorer.
IE Tab gives you the ability to use the Internet Explorer rendering engine within a tab in Chrome so you do not have to launch Internet Explorer to use web applications that require it.
The latest 0-day Internet Explorer bug Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVW-2014-1776) reveals how dangerous it is to run out-dated browsers. But many corporate environments are still using tools and websites that require Internet Explorer.
IE Tab provides a solution that allows you to run the latest version of Chrome for all of your normal browsing, but use IE for only the sites that require it. By only allowing trusted sites to use the IE rendering engine, you are mitigating the risk that your users can be lured to a site that exploits a vulnerability in Internet Explorer.
