as much as i try to avoid IE and try to promote firefox or any other open source browsers, IE still dominates the browser market. as web developer i still need to ensure the site works and looks right on IE.

but it’s a pain having to open (and wait for it to load) and close IE everytime i need to do this.

the same applies to going to sites that supports IE only. like most online banking sites - shame on developers (or perhaps the management?) not making them cross browser compatible.

IE tab solves this problem. it embeds IE in the tab with just a click. and you can switch back with just a click.

this works on windows only.
