Latest reviews
- (2023-11-01) 罗宾: 很好, CPU 占用少, 不象 Markdown Preview Plus CPU 占用很要命, 随便打开一个 md 文件, 笔记本的风扇就狂吵
- (2023-10-29) Noah Chen: Best markdown viewer
- (2023-10-22) Angelo Jr.: Muito bom! É simples porém atende bem minhas necessidades e expectativas até agora. Seria se os desenvolvedores colocassem um aviso mais explícito de que é necessário dar permissão a leitura de arquivos, isso evitaria as avaliações ruins de "não funciona".
- (2023-10-05) Roberto Guerra: Very good. I agree with other users: you need to watch the video to make it work, but besides that, it works pretty well. It's almost perfect. I have only one request... could it be possible to add UTF-8 support? I tried setting the encoding on my local .md file to utf8 but the extension stopped rendering it correctly.
- (2023-09-30) Daniel Baharestani: You won't be able to make it work without watching the video. It's not intuitive to set up and the options hidden in advanced are essential to make it work, they should be put in a start page and shown to the user to get started. But at the end of the day it works and is pretty useful.
- (2023-09-19) jk Registraties: Works good. Except you can't use relative paths for images. You need to use the full path for the src, which makes it less flexible. For example opening file:///D:/myfolder/Mydocument.md. <img src="d:/myfolder/Mypicture.png" alt="Setup"> is working, but <img src="/Mypicture.png" alt="Setup"> is not working. Which works good in vscode.
- (2023-09-05) Stéphane Anquetil: Juste penser à autoriser l'accès au file:// en local dans les paramètres de l'extension sur Chrome pour les fichiers sur disque local.
- (2023-08-27) Reza Mehdipour: Loved it, thanks!
- (2023-07-18) Fred Long: Works great. My only complaint is that if you click a # link in the page and then refresh, it will go back to the top of the page.
- (2023-06-14) Developer Dev: Thank you so much for such a convenient extension! It fully satisfies me and even more! It's incredibly easy to customize the extension according to my preferences. However, I must admit that I initially deleted it, thinking it wasn't working. It turned out that I needed to allow the browser to work with local files for this extension to function properly. Dear author, please emphasize this in the description, using large letters, for people as foolish as me :) It seems to me that this extension doesn't receive the highest rating due to the fact that many users didn't figure it out and simply gave it a one-star rating.
- (2023-05-15) Lorna McNeill: After struggling to get it working with local files I have now managed to (reinstalling the extension, restarting chrome...) and it looks good
- (2023-03-23) Zach Buhrer: Great extension, works exactly as expected. Wish it had specific support for Obsidian.md features.
- (2023-01-29) Lei Yang: Unable to render local files, but remove andreinstalling solved a lot of problems
- (2023-01-27) Matt R: lightweight, user-friendly, and does exactly what it's supposed to do, kudos!
- (2022-12-21) Bob Joke: 为啥点开文件成下载该文件啊,而不是查看呢,之前还好啊
- (2022-12-03) Manuel Ignacio López Quintero: Very light extension! Love it! Not giving 5 star because I cannot add a custom CSS style! The only missing feature I think is essential!
- (2022-10-21) KATZATA: Works like a charm and has an auto-reload option!!!
- (2022-07-07) Nils Lindemann: (Update 2022) Excellent! Thanks to the developer for adding the "wide" switch, and for fixing the delayed parsing. (Original review, outdated) It is good. Two annoyances: 1) it adds spaces on the left and on the right – in every theme – I can not use the full screen. 2) with more than 5 other Addons installed, when no Chrome instance is open and then I open a local *.md file from within the file manager then it wont parse it. First I have to middleclick the reload button to open it in a new tab, then it gets parsed in that tab. I guess this is because the other addons need some time to load and then it anyhow "forgets" to parse it.
- (2022-05-31) Agrey Tosira: Sangat bermanfaat.
- (2022-05-16) Geraldo Filho: muito útil, agora posso fazer um reload da documentação, e escrever sempre nesse formato.
- (2022-05-13) Ricky Song: 为什么不能浏览本地文件了呢?之前一直好好的
- (2022-05-10) Zarif Muhtasim: one of the best extensions i ever installed. is it possible to create a collapsible toc and collapsible headings?
- (2022-03-31) 张伟: 不支持数学公式?
- (2022-02-26) Jerry Green: Great extension, except it poorly supports gfm footnotes: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#footnotes
- (2022-02-11) Deron Parker: Support for lots of markdown specs. Dark mode :)
- (2022-01-26) Kenny Lo (Kenny): this is very good extensions
- (2022-01-18) Jang-il Sohn: Great! I'v never seen like this MD viewer. This is the the best MD viewer. Though, I want to ask one thing. Is editing ML file possible? Even if not, it's exellent.
- (2021-12-22) Andrey Oliveira: Muito bom!!!
- (2021-12-19) Dongryul Kim: Simple and neat.
- (2021-12-18) Ali Hashemian: Somehow it stopped compiling emojis in headings. Now, It only compiles shortcodes.
- (2021-12-06) 김선엽: Simple and the best currently.. But syntax broken when some conditions meets.
- (2021-10-07) Dave Pedu: Navigated to a markdown file and it didn't render so this seems broken.
- (2021-09-01) Chris Bloomfield: Excellent extension. I just found the TOC and Scroll options, both are super helpful! Would you consider applying the dark mode themes to the TOC sidebar?
- (2021-08-17) Igor Tishkin: God bless u, the Author of this extension! Благослови тебя Бог, Симов! Я так долго тебя искал, Viewer for Markdown. Вечер этого дня озарил весь мой долгий предшествующий путь. :) Ну, а если серьёзно, автор, БОЛЬШОЕ-ПРЕБОЛЬШОЕ СПАСИБО за это расширение, простое и рабочее. Прям вот то что надо было мне и то что нужно. Спасибо!
- (2021-06-02) Eduardo Santana Medeiros: Muito boa, se a tabela de conteúdo fosse dinâmica seria melhor ainda.
- (2021-05-19) Steven Luke: Doesn't seem to do anything. Open up a page with MD, get raw text. Can't figure out how to open a local file with MD. Not sure how it works but it doesn't tell you either.
- (2021-05-09) Gideon Siete: Very nice. You can associate Markdown Viewer with .md files in Windows Explorer. Create the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ .md \ OpenWithProgids (remove spaces) and add the empty the registry values "BraveHTML" and "ChromeHTML" (type REG_SZ). Whenever you click on an .md file it will pop up in your browser for display.
- (2021-05-06) Rishav Jadon: I love the extension, although i;m wondering why did the screenshots in windows not show, does it not render local file paths?
- (2021-04-17) Ruslan Kabatsayev: This one is much better than Markdown Preview Plus, which I used to use. In particular, Markdown Viewer renders MathJax-based equations more correctly, while MPP ate backslashes, breaking the formulas. But one feature I'm missing is automatic reload of a local file on change. I have to manually update the page to see the changes.
- (2021-04-09) B Barnett: Good so far! But by default it does not render web-based URLs from Markdown into html. You must go into Settings, and where it says Allowed Origins, click the button "Allow All". Now it should properly render .md files on a website and as a local file. Also it does not interpret a YAML block (used with Pandoc) as normal info, it renders it as Markdown.
- (2021-03-31) Diao Wang: 很方便哈,主题很多,好看!
- (2021-03-07) Paolo Chiarlone: Good extension, I really like it. One little bug (maybe only for me?): footnotes do not render: Source: Footnote is not working.[^1] [^1]: This should be a footnote. Gets rendered in source a above, without link and small char link. Could you look into this? Thanks!
- (2021-02-15) Triet Doan: Works perfectly for me! Just a small question: how can I export what I see as an HTML file? I can print it as PDF, but I cannot find a way to save it as HTML.
- (2021-01-24) Leejun Liao: Awesome extension. But it doesn't seem to support the syntax of tables, like this: | Syntax | Description | | ----------- | ----------- | | Header | Title | | Paragraph | Text |
- (2021-01-16) naarcissus: Nice viewer. My only complaint is that the TOC is un-styled. It's always brain-searing black on white regardless of the style used for the document.
- (2020-12-27) 南枫: 这个插件很牛逼,主要是因为代码在SVN上,所以特别需要这个插件,very nice
- (2020-12-05) Matthew Woo: This makes viewing markdown files so easy! I write my notes in markdown now and if I need to look at it I can just open in chrome
- (2020-11-22) Alex Wang: Any idea if you can improve it such that it can support LaTex mode such as the following? $$ f(x) = x^2 + y^2 $$ where $ x $ is real part and $ y $ is imaginary part.
- (2020-11-16) Stone Zhang: I cannot use it on github like README.md.It doesn't work at all!
- (2020-11-05) joker K: 不错
