Overview

Encourage PDFs to show in the browser instead of downloading. By Nick Semenkovich <semenko@alum.mit.edu>

Annoyed by PDFs that save and download instead of opening? This extension forces PDFs to render inline instead of downloading (by overwriting the "Content-disposition: attachment" header). Features: - Only rewrites content that's in a main window (main_frame) - Rewrites all responses with "Content-type: application/pdf" - Rewrites responses with "Content-type: application/octet-stream" with a filename=*.pdf ======== CODE ======== https://github.com/semenko/chrome-force-pdf-inline Copyright 2014-2024 Nick Semenkovich <semenko@alum.mit.edu> Released under the MIT License.

Used to work really well, though the latest update made the PDF detection really aggressive and it tries to render PDFs out of zip files as well. Could you fix this real quick?

Good feature idea! Sadly a of 2024-03-21 the extension in it lates released version 2016.4.7 is not working anymore in the current Chrome 122.0.6261.129. Tried it on https://www.bmf.gv.at/services/publikationen/das-steuerbuch.html where the PDFs use "Content-Disposition: attachment" and enforcing PDF inline display fails, instead the PDFs just trigger a download.
