I have no experience building IE Extensions. I’ve found some posts that talk about it (for example this one looks pretty detailed), and I see that I need to read much more about this topic… 🙂
But my question is not about how to build one. What I would like to know is: If I finally deploy an IE Extension, built in .NET:
- Would my IE Extension / Add-On run in the same process than Internet Explorer?
I don’t know if it would run in some kind of sandbox…
Thanks!

If in older IE versions, the answer is yes. For IE 8 and above, the answer is usually no.
