-- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --

1. Why do I have to install ietabhelper.exe?

IE Tab uses the Internet Explorer rendering engine. This rendering engine can't be directly accessed from a Chrome extension, so we need a helper process to communicate between the Chrome extension and the rendering engine.

2. Did IE Tab always require this extra program?

No. Chrome used to support a technology called NPAPI (the Netscape Plugin API) which allowed extensions to access local computer resources. IE Tab used to use that functionality to access the Internet Explorer rendering engine. But Chrome removed NPAPI support, so we were forced to implement a new solution, and that solution requires a separate helper executable. From a technical standpoint, the only real change is that our code moved from an NPAPI .DLL file to a helper .EXE file.

3. Is the IE Tab Helper application safe?

Absolutely! IE Tab has always used native code, and we have always treated the security of our 2+ million users very seriously. So you can rest assured that this helper executable is secure and trustworthy.

4. I'm an enterprise customer, how do I deploy the IE Tab Helper automatically?

We have enterprise deployment options, please contact us at [email protected] for details.

Keeps the world simple when I need to access HIK Vision CCTV. It works! Yet to figure how to save the URL/IP address of the CCTV server at work. (Tried right clicking on the IE tab/icon/thingo to no avail.) If this is all I have to worry about then I am having a good time. There are much more important things to worry about than having to enter an IP address when I need to look at CCTV.
Thank you to the developers that can make the difficult easy!

It's not reliable, no back button, half the time the address bar is locked and can't change the webpage or even type in that field.
