Recline CSV Viewer
Extension Delisted
This extension is no longer available in the official store. Delisted on 2025-09-16.
Allows viewing csv files (.csv) directly inside Chrome.
View CSV files in your browser whether they reside online or on disk. In addition to a powerful grid view, a map and graph view are available.
NOTE: this extension has only been tested in Chrome browser and likely does NOT work in Chromebook / Chrome OS (Chrome OS support is in progress but not yet ready).
This app is open-source and source code can be found at: https://github.com/rgrp/chrome-csv-viewer

No way to enable 'Allow access to file URLs' author just pushing us wrong direction and just a waste of time
It works! Those having problems likely didn't read the instructions on the github page.
I was able to open the CSV file on a mac by first going to the Extension in the chrome://extensions window, clicking on the extension details and "allowing access to URLs." Then, you have to open the file by browsing to your directory from the address bar because just dragging and pasting the URL does not work. I typed in /Users/username/directory in the URL bar, and then was able to find my CSV file and open it. My problem is that it isn't formatted nicely when you open it, and I was hoping to adjust the row height so that I can see multiple lines of the text in the cells. Oh well. It works. but it could be easier to use in terms of getting the CSV file to open and reading the csv contents.
Doesn't work by URL. Allowing access and using a folder on my PC kind of works but is an inconvenient hack. Even when doing that the layout is awful, a csv with three columns and two rows which has a paragraph of text each only shows about a word and a half per cell. You can widen the columns but it does not support linebreaks (which csv files DO support).
Useless
Doesn't work - even after you enable "Allow access to File URLs" in chrome://extensions Continues to download to disk instead.
Doesn't work: Chrome just asks to download the CSV file I'm trying to open...
Did not work at all, it keeps download CSV file even when I open file in chrome from parent folder path, enabled Allow access to file URLs in settings->extensions->Recline CSV Viewer But all failed.
Didn't work at all. Before you ask, yes I did enable the "Allow access to file URLs" setting.

This is great!
I hope it is as easy to remove as it was to add.
ok
Extension not working. If I am open link to csv file this file downloading, but extension must parse it and print me to display without downloading. Sorry but 1! Tested on Mac OS X (El Capitain) on Google Chrome browser.
Doesn't work for opening .csv files
Not working, should be removed from store. Great idea but too much time lost trying to make it work: would be simpler showing an [abandonend project] tag on GitHub and removing it from webstore, IMHO.
Doesn't work!
Great interface. Adding edit would even make it better ;]

You must enable access to URLs by checking "Allow access to file URLs" in chrome://extensions. The extension won't work otherwise! See instructions on the GitHub site here: https://github.com/rgrp/chrome-csv-viewer. Also, copy & pasting the link to the CSV file does not work but you can do it to the parent folder. Great tool, love it!
