- Keep. IE Tab was a big deal in the browser wars by driving adoption of Firefox, as it removed one point of friction against its use, when millions of webpages were "optimized for Internet Explorer"; that's why it got featured at The Washington Post and reviewed at lots of magazines from that era. See also a description in this book. Definitely passes WP:GNG even if the sources are not currently included in the article. Diego (talk) 19:44, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - probably the most notable browser extension, up there with Adblock. There's a Washington Post article in there, PC World did a couple of brief pieces: [1][2] - it just about passes WP:GNG based on those three things - a look back in time may turn up more, when this was incredibly useful (Windows Updates in Firefox).
