Removes Content-Disposition: attachment HTTP header to allow view files instead of downloading them.
Sometimes you want to see files in Chrome inline, but Chrome started to download it.
This is quite irritating. This extension relaxes this behavior.
Extension icon acts as quick toggle on/off.

- (2023-09-27) Λ H S Ξ N: Functions exactly as described. Amazing how consistently this works on everything! One minor complaint: On sites where the download is initiated on the website and not with a redirect, downloads stop working so the extension has to be disabled. Not the fault of the extension though, it functions perfectly :D. Wish I'd found this 4 years ago.
- (2023-07-05) Hope Zimmerman: Really needs to be changed so it works for .mov files.
- (2023-06-18) Fadexz Extra: Works but doesn't work for .mov files which is a little disappointing, if that is fixed and doesn't happen for any other common file types then I'd give it 5 stars
- (2023-05-15) Adam Balint: So simple yet really a relief. I wish I found it earlier.
- (2023-01-30) James Donley: Absolutely incredible, I wish this was a standard option in browsers. Sick of Discord trying to force me to either download files or embed them in-frame (I hate embeds in a text client), this lets me click an mp4 link someone posted and just watch it in a separate tab without downloading it.
- (2022-11-26) Abby Burt: BEST EXTENSION EVER. As a student who constantly has to view files for school, the storage on my computer would've been wrecked if it wasn't for this. Thank you!!!
- (2022-09-02) Conrad Sykes: I spent 9+ hours trying to figure out how to force a video to play in chrome instead of downloading it, it wasn't until I stumbled upon this extension that I finally got it to work!!!! Thank you so much. Now I understand the root issue is that each link sets its content-disposition and thanks to this extension the power is now back in the users control to decide! This is an absolute life saver.
- (2022-06-18) Michael B: For files that can't be viewed (like zip files), it butchers the file name. Just tested, same file, with this extension enabled and disabled, and this was the culprit. It's nice when it works, but definitely not worth dealing with that.
- (2022-06-05) Ali Joon: You can use it to open the videos and other files from Discord instead of saving them 👍
- (2022-06-02) Léo Gillet: finally I found this, thanks it works so good
- (2022-04-18) Suhaib Khan: Works as expected. Kudos.
- (2022-04-04) Jörgen Slet: works about 80% of the time. Doesn't work for e.g. https://www.haigekassa.ee/sites/default/files/Kiirabi/A5_tegevusjuh-skeemid_netti_0.pdf which "No PDF Download" handles just fine
- (2022-02-27) Sanjeev Kumar Bobby Cycles (Bobby Zopfan): My (jpg) images from whatsapp web still ask to be downloaded first.
- (2021-09-24) Calvin Crady: Thank you so much, this should really be a default feature
- (2021-07-23) Eric Blum: Does its job, thumbs up.
- (2021-06-26) Dick Nuts: Easy, simple, perfect. I'm lucky to have found this. Puts an end to Chrome downloading files instead of just opening them in a tab. It drove me nuts until I stumbled across this extension because I never knew what to search for to explain. Me happy.
- (2021-03-26) Rémi J.: Very useful thanks a lot! For a next update, it would be great to be able to disable the extension automatically for a list of website that each user would write.
- (2020-09-27) Luis Eduardo Jeréz Girón: Really thanks, i loved it
- (2020-01-11) Maxime C.: Amazing. I receive a lot of image files and I just need to have a quick look at them, will same me tons of time to preview them quiclky in browser instead of downloading. The toggle is a real PLUS, I used the non fork version before but this one is oviously better :)
- (2020-01-02) Gian Paolo Baldazzi: Perfect, does what it says. Can remove the "content-disposition" header allowing (e.g) to show pdf files in chrome instead of being forced to download them. Can be easily toggled on and off with a click on its button.
