Does Comodo SecureTab work for anyone? The extension in Chrome Web Store has reviews all in the same day so this sounds fishy and there doesn't seem to be anything happening aside from the extension not working. I don't know if I can send links so I won't. I don't even know if this is the right place to post this.

Do you mean a large number of strange reviews out of nowhere? I would disable the extension to make sure it isn't functional for the time being if this is the case out of concerns someone might have hijacked an update.

has anyone actually tried this tab?
It claims that you can use any firefox add-on in Chrome, if you have this tab.
Sounds wild...

Not something I would be interested in, but seen this extension a few weeks ago and you need both browsers (Chrome + IceDragon) installed.

It was similar to IE Tab back in the day for Firefox and IE.

Sounds dangerous. I'm no expert but being able to use firefox add ons in Chrome(while admittedly I would like to) seems like it would mess a lot with the integrity and security of the browser. I would like someone to confirm it is safe though.

And let's not forget that that Comodo's browsers don't have the best reputations.

Same as @Azure Phoenix
