10 Reviews For This Extension
moderate
This does exactly the same thing as Chrome can already do, the only difference being by right-clicking instead of through Chrome's settings. I was looking for something that allows me to open a PDF in Adobe without first having to save it (as is possible with Firefox), and this ain't it.
we shall see
This extension says it opens PDF files, but all it does is display ads. Reported for abuse. I don't know how these people sleep at night.
