Latest reviews

Manas Madrecha 2021-09-10: Just a blank box appears for both local files and Github raw markdown view. Even enabling access to Local files does not do anything.
Adam Reece 2020-12-26: Did absolutely nothing. Dragged a file in it, just a plain white box. (Yes, I had DEFINITELY enabled access to file URLs first.)
joker K 2020-11-05: 打不开本地md文件
Zdravko Mavkov 2020-11-02: Does not work with local files. Allow access to file URLs is enabled in its settings.
Enrique Reyes 2020-07-13: Didn't work in my browser (Versão 83.0.4103.106 (Versão oficial) 64 bits). I'm on Arch OS (5.7.7-arch1-1). The page (local file) show pretty inside a grey box but the md content doesn't appear at all.
Nico Alba 2020-03-22: I've enabled allow access to file URLs, when I drop a .md file into Chrome, it just downloads the file instead of opening it...
Vakho Akobia 2020-03-22: doesn't work
Jeff Beckley 2020-03-12: I have used this extension for years, and I really like it, but it's broken now. I hadn't used it for a couple months and when I went to go view an .md file it turned up blank except for a box. When I refresh I can sometimes very briefly (probably less than a quarter of a second) see the contents of the .md file, but in the end just shows the box. My guess is that a Chrome update broke it?
Yann Pagabeiuse 2020-03-12: Latest update seems to have completely broken it. It doesn't work anymore.
Eddy Raineri 2020-02-29: Not working with Version 80.0.3987.122 (Official Build) (64-bit) on MAC.
Stevie Kiko 2020-02-07: It's good extension for me . I use for read my local .md file everyday until today . I can't open local .md file . I've got error message like this run again and again again.

Craig Williams 2020-01-10: I configured the extension to allow file:// URL's but it does not render markdown for local files. Is there more than one place that local files need to be allowed?
Musa Haidari 2020-01-05: It was OK for simple MD syntax, but cannot compile the more complex one easily. The design can be improved too.
miracle god 2019-12-09: 有些.md文件还是打不开啊，一点击就变成了下载
Haibin Qiao 2019-09-10: There is something wrong when writing below: | Character | Name | | --- | --- | | \| | pipe |
k g 2019-06-19: 好评，中文UTF8都不会乱码。
Vikram Jadhav 2019-04-09: Doesn't work if I open local .md file from my windows 10 pc to chrome
Andy Davidson 2019-02-25: Works on Mac with local files. see "Dusty Frederick" comment to configure extension to work with local files. you need to turn "Allow access to file URLs" on only complaint is my markdown file is displayed with a huge margin on the left. this wastes a lot of screen space. I really like the table of contents on the right
王若非 2019-01-30: 非常喜欢，中文也没有出现乱码现象，赞一下开发者～
Jaime Muñoz 2019-01-07: Es de lo mejor que he visto para ver archivos de markdown en el navegador Chrome (yo uso windows 7). Solo una mejora posible: ¿se `podría editar el CSS? Saludos!!
Cenny Wenner 2019-01-02: As others mention, even with the url-access option on, it does not seem to render local .md files.
Matthew Bell 2018-12-06: Very good Markdown Reader. I've been able to even open local file by entering file:///c:/ in the URL and navigating to the folder where the *.md file sits. I would recommend to anyone needing to open Markdown files.
José Antonio Pinto 2018-07-28: Very good! Run perfectly at Chromium too.
Jerry Tingley 2018-07-20: Nice support for extra Markdown stuff like checkboxes. Default source code rendering looks great. The extension also places a list on the right of the main content with links to all of your headers, very convenient for navigation and for quickly glancing over a file.
beyondtheboundaries 2018-05-29: You need to enable the access to the file urls. After that it works like a charm. Love it!
Mat Sal 2018-05-24: Cumple su función perfectamente. Muy buena extensión y muy útil
Contas Tiago França 2018-04-27: Muito bom. Show de bola!!!!!
Marko Vujanic 2018-04-25: One of the better out there, colapsing works as well. I love it.
Shane 2018-01-10: Worked fine until today. Now, css loads intermittently
Jeremy Law 2017-12-22: Seems to have problems with lists and sub-lists. Works well otherwise.
Ulysses Wong 2017-11-24: This is the best markdown plugin I have used. Accrod to the markdown file, it will create a menu, and it's easy to fix the positon where you want to view.
Joseph Ellsworth 2017-11-04: Just what I wanted. Much better accuracy than some others I tried.
Reinier Rodríguez González 2017-10-28: Great tool, simplifies work, makes it easier.
江南渔夫 2017-09-07: 我看本地md文件会一直自动刷新，挺难受的
Kyle Keating 2017-08-07: Does not work for local .md files on a mac, seems like a huge use case to me
Jeremy Daalder 2017-07-22: Built in indexing is super handy, as is live reload. Would be great if it was easier to find docs (e.g. on latex, syntax highlighting etc)
Jim Auer 2017-06-28: Only one I've found that reliably duplicates GitHub markdown interpretation
Asher Stern 2017-06-03: Nice tool. One bug: New lines inside notes are being ignored. For example: >This >is >a >note Will be presented as This is a note
Aric D 2017-05-01: This is a handy extension to view markdown that works reasonably well. For those who are having an issue getting the plugin to work be sure to reference the instructions, specifically step 2: Open plugin center: chrome://extensions/, check "Allow access to file URLs"
