Andrew, Are you worried about the extensions ability to "access: All data on your computer and the websites you visit"?

Eric, you bring up a very valid point. The access that they have to your computer is more extensive than I would like. That being said, it's not possible to have an extension like IE Tab that doesn't require access to "all data on [my] computer". The only way to host IE in Chrome is by using the NPAPI plugin model, which is very powerful, and that's why you get the warning. It's up to you whether or not to trust them based on the fact that this extension has been around a while and has been a top 10 chrome extension since 2009. It's up to each individual whether or not they think it is worth adding to their browser.

Fast LEED Online: a thrilling possibility! I'm reluctant to add this extension, though. Has anyone found a good alternative that's less intrusive and insecure? Thanks.
