We recently transitioned to Chrome and use IE Tab on predefined sites. It’s a good compromise of standardizing on a modern browser and still being able to access a couple straggler apps.



What's the motivation to use Chrome and IE Tab v. MS Edge (where the Chromium-based product supports IE Tab-like functionality natively)? Or just long enough ago before the Chromium-based Edge shipped?


Prior to Microsoft’s change of engines, or at least around the same time. Plus it isn’t like anyone wanted to use IE or Edge, so we would of likely gone the same path regardless.


It's not clear to be Chromium-based Edge is an any worse product than Chrome (and in many ways is going further down the anti-ad-tracking route than Chrome, unsurprisingly), but I expect the Trident integration in their IE Mode is better than IE Tab?


I doubt anyone is using Edge enough to find out. Generally now people are trained to Chrome regardless (most people home and work), and w/the IE Tab extension there is no motivation to investigate.

As a side note, I would guess most non-GSuite users are logging into their Google account on Chrome and getting a unifed bookmark, whereas if they sign into a MS account at work/Edge, it will have to be their work Office365 account, breaking their unified browsing experience.
