Removes Content-Disposition: attachment HTTP header to allow view files instead of downloading them.
Sometimes you want to see files in Chrome inline, but Chrome started to download it.
This is quite irritating. This extension relaxes this behavior.
Extension icon acts as quick toggle on/off.

- Smart Content-Disposition handling: preserves header for binary types like zip, rar, exe

- Guh THANK YOUUUUU ✨ Just tried it with a link to an .mp3 file and it works

- Doesn't work at all as of 3/4/2024. I'm in Chrome version 121.0.6167.187 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 11. Update 6/30/2025, it still doesn't work at all. Chrome version 138.0.7204.97 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 11.

- works about 80% of the time. Doesn't work for e.g. https://www.haigekassa.ee/sites/default/files/Kiirabi/A5_tegevusjuh-skeemid_netti_0.pdf or any layout images on support.pckeyboard.com. which "No PDF Download" handles just fine. But being spared of 80% of the annoyance created by arrogant or clueless webmasters-webapps is still remarkable amount of peace-of-mind

- It used to be great but no longer works. .txt files continue to download regardless of whether the extension is toggled on.
- Szczepan Hołyszewski
- Doesn't work at all.
- John McCabe
- Does appear to work, but is better to leave disabled except when you really need it, as it causes the names of files you _do_ want to download to be garbled.
- Dave Gil
- Prevents pdfs previews from showing
- 志豪张
- Very good and easy to use! by default the option is turned off, you need to turn it on and it will works well!
- Nicoleen Warren
- This extension does not work when it comes to .doc files. Links in Google search results, that consist of a .doc file, are still getting downloaded to your PC.

- Functions exactly as described. Amazing how consistently this works on everything! One minor complaint: On sites where the download is initiated on the website and not with a redirect, downloads stop working so the extension has to be disabled. Not the fault of the extension though, it functions perfectly :D. Wish I'd found this 4 years ago.

- Works but doesn't work for .mov files which is a little disappointing, if that is fixed and doesn't happen for any other common file types then I'd give it 5 stars

- Absolutely incredible, I wish this was a standard option in browsers. Sick of Discord trying to force me to either download files or embed them in-frame (I hate embeds in a text client), this lets me click an mp4 link someone posted and just watch it in a separate tab without downloading it.

- BEST EXTENSION EVER. As a student who constantly has to view files for school, the storage on my computer would've been wrecked if it wasn't for this. Thank you!!!

- Conrad Sykes
- I spent 9+ hours trying to figure out how to force a video to play in chrome instead of downloading it, it wasn't until I stumbled upon this extension that I finally got it to work!!!! Thank you so much. Now I understand the root issue is that each link sets its content-disposition and thanks to this extension the power is now back in the users control to decide! This is an absolute life saver.

- For files that can't be viewed (like zip files), it butchers the file name. Just tested, same file, with this extension enabled and disabled, and this was the culprit. It's nice when it works, but definitely not worth dealing with that.

- You can use it to open the videos and other files from Discord instead of saving them 👍

- Easy, simple, perfect. I'm lucky to have found this. Puts an end to Chrome downloading files instead of just opening them in a tab. It drove me nuts until I stumbled across this extension because I never knew what to search for to explain. Me happy.

- Very useful thanks a lot! For a next update, it would be great to be able to disable the extension automatically for a list of website that each user would write.

- Amazing. I receive a lot of image files and I just need to have a quick look at them, will same me tons of time to preview them quiclky in browser instead of downloading. The toggle is a real PLUS, I used the non fork version before but this one is oviously better :)

- Perfect, does what it says. Can remove the "content-disposition" header allowing (e.g) to show pdf files in chrome instead of being forced to download them. Can be easily toggled on and off with a click on its button.
