What is IE Tab?

IE Tab is an Edge extension that allows users to display web pages using the Internet Explorer rendering engine within Edge. This enables the use of ActiveX controls and compatibility with services like Sharepoint, Java, and Silverlight. Offering features like automatic URL opening in IE Tab and Group Policy support for enterprise deployments, it simplifies the usage of older web technologies on the Edge browser.
