- (2025-02-10) Michael Latowicki: This is probably not the developer's fault, but it doesn't seem to work in Chromium 132.0.6834.159 (Official Build). You have to enable access to file URLs and then you can activate the extension for a pdf (on file URLs only), and it still does practically nothing - the pdf's background is still white in my chromium. Presumably a breaking change occurred in chromium since last release of the extension.
- (2025-01-26) Eduard Ghenea: It works! Karan Sikka is right : ''You have to go to the chrome extension details and then check the box to allow access to file URLs. Also it only works on file URLs. (opening pdf files in chrome). So if you want to read a pdf that you loaded from a web page, you need to download it then open from filesystem.''
