Opens all PDF files directly in the browser.
While most PDF files can be viewed directly in the browser some PDFs will trigger a "Save as"-dialog or will be downloaded automatically. This addon views all PDF files directly in the browser. You can still save the PDF by pressing CTRL+S (or CMD+S) after viewing them.
Some web servers are misconfigured and don't tell the browser that a file is a PDF. In this case the file will still be downloaded even when this addon is active. If you encounter a PDF that is downloaded feel free to send the URL to the support email address so I can check if this it's a bug in the addon or just a server issue.

- (2023-10-20) Václav Obrtlík: Works perfectly.
- (2023-09-12) Carl W: I just FINALLY found this thanks to a a comment on StackExchange. Yes, I tried changing the chrome / chromebook default to 'open in chrome' but that often didn't work, due to website instructions to 'save', I guess. I don't know about the long-term usage of this app, but my immediate review is "Ah, yes! Finally. Thanks" For now 5 stars!
- (2023-07-28) Angela Hoffmann: Endlich eine Lösung für PDF die man nur einsehen möchte, deren Download aber nicht nötig oder gar überflüssig ist. Ich empfehle diese Erweiterung, sie kommt in alle meine Browserprofile
- (2023-06-21) Zaphod Beeblebrox: Works perfectly fine
- (2022-11-13) Tomoharu: Yeah.. uh... that did nothing chief on Discord it's doing nothing..
- (2022-05-25) E TM: It does what it says.
- (2022-04-29) Christoph Thiede: Very nice experience so far! I have not hit any page so far where PDF download was still enforced. The only problem I have experienced so far: When trying to download some proceedings some primoris (https://www.insticc.org/Primoris/ - you will need an account), without disabling the extension, it is impossible to download the PDF, you can only download an ASPX file then.
- (2022-02-10) Kirill Alemaskin: It works, but as mentioned by others it breaks the ability to download attachments from Gmail. I suggest to add an option to create site exceptions for this plugin, so that site or domains (including wildcards) such as google.com could be excluded not to break their functionality.
- (2022-01-31) Derek Ruddock: Its junk it does not open or read any PDF file within the browser i still have to download and view from folder
- (2021-10-11) Syllas: Não resolveu o problema do Brave: os PDFs continuam sendo baixados para ser abertos.
- (2021-06-30) Jorge Díaz: Works perfectly, and in case you don't want to open the file you just have to right click and select "Save link as..."
- (2021-05-19) Nicolai Weitkemper: Unfortunately, this does not seem to work on GitHub. All I get is ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.
- (2021-04-09) Martin Georgiew: Actually works, no problems at all so far, thanks so much
- (2021-02-09) Richard Cepas: It works but it also breaks all special download buttons like for Gmail attachments. And there is no way to whitelist individual sites or pages, so I had to disable the whole extension.
- (2020-12-20) Damien B: This has been an occasional annoyance for years. Thanks for fixing it!
- (2020-04-14) Nikita: the only one which works :-)
- (2019-11-11) Sir Lancelot Link: I tried 2-3 other extensions that provided this functionality, but the printed output was too light. This extension doesn't have that issue. So... yay! :-)
- (2019-09-05) Phil Brown: Just wonderful. My downloads folder is littered with PDFs that I didn't want to actually download. Now I can just click PDF links and read them.
- (2019-04-02) Élisson Góis Gallas: Igual a algumas outras, mas esta parece visualmente mais fácil de mexer. Gostaria de habilitar a opção de abrir em nova guia em alguns sites. Daria 5 estrelas se houvesse essa opção.
- (2019-03-31) Sam B. Leonard: Works perfectly, the only issue is that, when I want to actually download a PDF file (let's say from gmail) I have to disable the extension. Would be great if it had on/off switch
- (2018-06-20) Iain Den Houting: 0 issues
