AlexyBsb (ID: 000000d3d500374f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/25/2023 A ganância é tão grande pra vender a versão pro, que nem um teste sequer eu fiz pra ver se funciona no site que eu preciso, ou seja, pra eles você tem que comprar, funcionando ou não. Não recomendo. E tem mais... Descobri que você pode configurar o Edge para abrir uma página específica no modo Internet Explorer, nem precisa de extensão.
