Open IE Only sites in Google Chrome

There are many sites which have partnered with Microsoft to use Internet Explorer as prime browser for surfing on there sites. We know that many users prefer Firefox or Google Chrome over IE. The reason for this is its robustness, and ease. IE 6 and IE 7 doesnot support JavaScript, which is a main feature for many users to look out. If you are a Google Chrome or Google Chromium user and want to open IE Only sites, you should get help from its IE Extension. IE Tab Extension integrates with Google Chromium as an .crx extension and opens all 'IE Only' without even opening IE. It works with all latest Google Chromium dev Builds.
