Summary

This is the development version of the "IE View WE" addon ported from Firefox to Chrome.

This is provided for testing use, because we cannot call webRequestBlocking API on Manifest V3 addon while development even if it is designed for enterprise use (see also: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1338871 ). Not recommended for regular use.

It enables you to switch between browsers very easily, based on predefined URL patterns.

This requires its own binary module. Before you install this to your Edge, you need to install the native messaging host by these steps:

  1. Download a zip package "ieview-we-host.zip" from https://github.com/clear-code/ieview-we/releases
  2. Unzip downloaded file.
  3. Double-click the batch file named "install.bat".
  4. Install this "IE View WE" extension to your Edge.

For business use, this extension supports managed storage to provide fixed configs by the system administrator.
