ActiveX controls are commonly used in Internet Explorer to add extra features to Web pages. While Google Chrome doesn’t directly support ActiveX controls, you can still use them by incorporating a workaround. Since ActiveX may not work well in every browser and sometimes exposes a computer to security issues, Chrome suggests developers use alternatives to provide a more even user experience among all Chrome users. Other options in the Chrome Web Store include IE Tab Classic and IE Tab Multi. At the time of publication, IE Tab is the most popular option based upon user reviews and downloads. IE Tab normally bases emulation on your currently installed version of Internet Explorer. If you want to use a different version, you can change the mode in the Options section of the add-on.
