PDF Forcedownload Blocker

People writing bad reviews don't understand what this extension is for. It's for those sites that append a "?forcedownload=1" to the end of PDF file URLs to force you to download them instead of reading on the browser. It will not prevent normal PDF downloads from happening. It works perfectly the sites that do add "forceDownload" to their PDFs

doesn't work

Useless...browser immediately opens "save file" window.

It sucks.

This sounds very promising, but it doesn't seem to work for GitHub releases such as this one: https://github.com/LinqLover/sonyx/releases/download/v0.2/sonyx-study-final.pdf

Works as described! For those who say it doesn't: Make sure your default browser behaviour is also set to open PDFs instead of downloading them as this blocker only sets forcedownload=0. (For Chrome: Settings > Security and privacy > Site settings > Additional content settings > PDF documents)

It did not work for me on the web page where I tried it; the link still forces a download. The URL that I clicked does not contain PDF in it instead it has this string at the end: AttachmentViewer.ashx?AttachmentID=57723&ItemID=35671, which may mean that the extension will not detect that a PDF is is being forced to download, I don't know. I do know that if it does not work or only works in limited cases it is of little use to me.

It worked for me only if I open the links in a new tab. I solved this with a shortcut (clicking the links with middle touchpad button for opening new tabs).

Yep, works great. Thanks alot edit: OK. changed to 3 stars. doesn't work on all sites

Works with some troubles. Works.pdf + Works space.pdf + Хрен.pdf - Хрен пробел.pdf - Also not works if pdf links dont have any actual "pdf" word in the links or text in differnt language then EN like https://confluence.site.msk.ru/download/attachments/126388176/NOTICE2222222%20-%20%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%8F.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1571062443387&api=v2
