Display .rtf (Rich Text Format) files in the browser
This chrome extension allows to view RTF (Rich Text Format) files in the browser and does so automatically when clicking any link to an RTF file. The RTF file is then automatically displayed in the same tab (similarly to the pdf preview feature in chrome).
This plugin does not depend on any external services to generate the preview.
To open local files click on the extension icon in the toolbar or open files on the file system with chrome (requires giving the extension the permission "Allow access to file URLs" on the extension page).

- (2020-09-10) Matt Nelson: is it possible at all to open local files in chrome with this? Files in web urls seem to work, but even if I do a local directory index page and click on a file:// url like [file:///C:/Users/username/Desktop/Sample.rtf] it does a download instead of rendering.

- (2017-05-30) Anala: É possível ler os arquivos em .rtf quando se clica diretamente em um link que direciona a um arquivo .rtf. Como quando se está no google. No entanto, se você baixou o arquivo e tenta abri-lo, aí não funciona não!

- (2017-02-18) Mr W: Saved my life! I had trouble accessing RTF files and tried everything I could...no luck. Luckily I managed to stumble upon this, it works like a treat! Unfortunately, you do have to re-download your documents from where ever you got them from, some formatting does get messed up and can only access from browser. Still, its better than nothing.
