FREQUENTLY ASKED QUALITIES 
1. Why is ietabhelper.exe required? 
IE Tab uses Internet Explorer's rendering engine. This rendering engine cannot be accessed directly from Chrome extensions. We need to use a helper process so that we can talk between the Chrome extension & the rendering engine.
2. Was IE Tab ever required to have this additional program?
No. Chrome supported NPAPI (the Netscape Plugin API), which allowed extensions to use local computer resources. IE Tab used this functionality to access Internet Explorer's rendering engine. Chrome had removed NPAPI support so we had to create a new solution. This solution requires a separate executable. Technically, the only change was that our code went from an NPAPI.DLL file into a helper.EXE.
3. Is the IE Tab Helper app safe?
Absolutely! IE Tab uses native code since its inception. We take security very seriously for our 2+ million users. You can be sure that the executable for this helper is safe and reliable. 4. How do I automatically deploy the IE Tab Helper to an enterprise customer? Contact us to learn more about enterprise deployment options.

Okno roíření se agresivně roztahuje na full windows a vypíná taby prohlížeče. Zároveň vypíná násrojovou lištu, akže nejde vypnout. Při zavření okna se vypne celý prohlížeč. Nefunguje korektní zobrazení .mht. V podstatě nefunguje korektně ani zobrazení kamerových systému IE only. Rozhodně nedoporučuju instalovat.
