Don't Download PDFs

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

Annoyed by PDFs that download and save instead of just showing in the tab? This extension encourages PDFs to show in the browser rather than downloading. That's it. Nothing else. ======== Details ======== This works by setting the "Content-Disposition: Inline" header under these conditions: - Content is displayed in the full window (main_frame) AND - The response contains "Content-type: application/pdf" OR - The response contains "Content-type: application/octet-stream" with a filename of "*.pdf" Note that some sites use the "download" attribute in links (e.g. <a href="" download>) which we can't override, but you can right-click those PDFs and select "Open Link in a New Tab". ======== CODE ======== https://github.com/semenko/chrome-force-pdf-inline Copyright 2014-2024 Nick Semenkovich <semenko@alum.mit.edu> Released under the MIT License.
