- (2023-07-26) Herberth Amaral: I've tried this both on Chrome and Brave and it worked in none of them. Tried with a local .md file, but it gets rendered as plain text. Tried with a local http file server, it does render but it has encoding issues.
- (2023-07-03) Iki Sandino: Excelente, funciona sin mayor contratiempo.
- (2023-02-19) Jim Kernicky: It looks fantastic though I which the font was slightly larger.
- (2023-01-17) Sniper WinnerShot: Nice extension, but is it possible to add overflow-y: auto and max-height to the TOC element and let it be able to scroll up and down when having a really long TOC content?
- (2022-10-14) Arc Lin: Nice job, now I can open a .md file as a html file, it's helpful.
- (2022-08-23) Jeff Milton: 5 stars because it is the best MD viewer there is at the moment, IMHO, and I have tried them all. My only suggestion would be, please add support for endnotes.

- (2021-01-30) 黄瑞锐: 我用的是360极速浏览器,安装了其他几个Markdown Viewer、Markdown Reader,都勾选了允许访问文件,但浏览器打开的.md文件都是原始的显示,插件没有起作用,试了这个才有作用,而且在“Set theme for this page:”选项中可以选择不同的浏览模式,挺方便的,给个五星好评!
- (2021-01-04) Joseph Farrar: Super easy to setup and use. Works exactly the way I expected it to. Perfect for what I was needing.
- (2020-10-15) M.J. Ali Abu Thair: pros: this is an excellent plugin cons: some of the mark downs don't render properly EX: Request Body<a name="API_DeleteFunctionEventInvokeConfig_RequestBody"></a>
- (2020-08-01) Basit: thank a lot for this amazing extension
- (2020-03-20) べ断桥烟雨ミ: Markdown渲染有点问题,MathJax引擎会将代码块中的 $$ (个别语言支持这种写法,用作插值字符串) 作为 TeX 数学公式进行渲染,导致渲染效果错误。 希望能够改进。
- (2020-01-30) Kenji Yonekawa: Very useful. It would be nice if it supports mermaid.
- (2020-01-19) Coco Mang: This extention does not work, the md files are not formated, I have tried all options including the fact to read local files, it simply does not work.
- (2020-01-12) Alexander Shirokov: Excellent tool to develop your notes

- (2019-08-21) Michael Williams: This is a great add on. It does a nice GitHub preview with auto-reload. You can also enable the preview of local files. Total awesomeness. Really useful. Would like a few more dark themes.
- (2019-07-02) Brian Chrzanowski (Brimonk): Thank god this was super easy to use. It's clear. Simple. Not a huge fan of manually enabling the file url setting, but hey. It works and is simple once set up. Thanks for making this.
- (2019-07-02) 许德安: 非常好用,尤其是可以渲染latex。如果能够渲染svg就更好了。
- (2019-06-12) Ruslan Kabatsayev: It mostly works fine, but there are some problems with equations (enabled by KaTeX support checkbox): 1. Equations are rendered incorrectly: e.g. $\vec k$ doesn't have the arrow. 2. Some environments supported by MathJax seem to be not supported by this extension: e.g. "align".
- (2019-06-07) Paul Kenjora: Doesn't work. Opened a README.md file in chrome and no markdown. I toggled all the relevant options.
- (2019-04-17) Lewis Zhang: Default theme Github is totally different from github.com. Is the CSS file wrong? Could you adjust upload custom CSS file size?The size of file (https://github.com/sindresorhus/github-markdown-css) I want to upload is 40kb.
- (2019-04-02) 亀海克行: オリジナルCSSを作っていて気づいたのですが、```で囲ったソースコードがHTMLタグで始まる場合に、開始タグ部分に.hljs-nameがつかないことがあります。

- (2019-02-17) Bizhan Aminipour: It supports only basic md features. but it doesn't support TOC, emojis, KaTeX, mermaid. And its font is not satisfactory.
- (2019-02-02) Ethan Rietz: TeX type math is no longer rendered correctly for me after the switch from MathJax to KaTeX. Does anyone know of a solution?
