A proxy that enables debugging and diagnosing Internet Explorer using Chrome's remote debug protocol.
IE Diagnostics Adapter is a proxy tool that enables developers to debug and diagnose Internet Explorer 11 using the Chrome remote debug protocol. It allows Chrome DevTools and other compatible tools to connect to IE11, bridging the gap between modern debugging interfaces and legacy browser environments. This solves the problem of debugging IE-specific issues with familiar, powerful tooling.
Web developers and testers who need to debug websites or applications in Internet Explorer 11, particularly those already using Chrome DevTools or tools supporting the Chrome remote debug protocol.
Developers choose IE Diagnostics Adapter because it allows them to leverage the robust Chrome DevTools interface for debugging IE11, eliminating the need to switch between different debugging environments. Its standalone, no-install setup makes it quick to deploy for diagnosing IE-specific issues.
IE Diagnostics Adapter is a standalone exe that enables tools to debug and diagnose IE11 using the Chrome remote debug protocol.

Enables debugging IE11 with the familiar Chrome DevTools interface by acting as a proxy, allowing connection via http://localhost:9222/ as specified in the README.
Requires no installation—simply download and extract files to run, making it quick to deploy for ad-hoc debugging tasks without system changes.
Includes configuration steps for debugging IE11 in Enhanced Protected Mode on Windows 8 and later, addressing a common hurdle in secure environments.
Released as v0.2-alpha, it only supports core debugging APIs and lacks stability or full feature support, with some documentation marked 'Coming soon...'.
Configuring for Enhanced Protected Mode requires administrative commands or manual file permission changes, which can be error-prone and restrictive in corporate settings.
Only works on Windows with IE11 installed, making it useless for cross-platform development or debugging newer browsers like Microsoft Edge.
