Based on WebExtensions APIs, it requires installation of a native messaging host. While this project will no longer be updated, it offers managed storage for enterprise use. Configuration options allow for customization, such as specifying IE’s executable path and URLs to open. An alternative option is suggested for continued support, BrowserSelector.
