Google Chrome Extension showing text files inside the browser instead of downloading them.

Show in browser

Google Chrome Extension that shows various types of textual files inside of the browser instead of downloading them.

Concept

Have you ever wanted to view a textual file in Chrome (say, text/turtle) but did your browser just save it to your Downloads folder?
This extension aims to change this using the experimental downloads API.

Limitations

  • Currently, it only works with the latest Canary.
  • You need to enable Experimental Extension APIs in chrome://flags.
  • The download is canceled, but still appears on the downloads bar.

Download

As this extension uses an experimental API, it cannot be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store.
