Reviews of pdf forcedownload blocker:
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
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
Worked for some PDFs, but did not work for others. I don't think this extension actually overrides the "content-disposition: attachment" header.
Doesn't work at all.
Unfortunately it does not work for me
Worked as intended, aka clicked a link, to a pdf on Smartsheet, in Outlook and opened instead of downloading, finally.
It works! Thank you!
Sadly doesn't work on the website I needed it to (fcc.gov/). I would love this to actually work. It's crazy it's not built in functionality.
I have never wrote a review of any app or a extension in my life but this one is just amazing!! now I can skim my university's PDFs easily without downloading numerous files and delete them!
After many years of PDFs downloading to my computer and wasting memory space, I was finally able to open a PDF file in Chrome WITHOUT having to download!!! OMG!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THIS WORKS!!
Just didn't work.
Did not operate as intended
Doesn't work.
Doesn't seem to change anything, PDFs still download without any other option
didn't work for me
Doesn't appear to work on pdf documents served from http://www.te.com/ Example: http://www.te.com/commerce/DocumentDelivery/DDEController?Action=srchrtrv&DocNm=1909782&DocType=Customer+Drawing&DocLang=English
Did not block PDFs from auto-downloading.
FINALLY ONE THAT WORKS :D
Well I was getting an error message when I tried to open certain links to pdf files - a separate window would open then I got an Acrobat error message. as soon as i installed this extension, the same window opened but now I have a fully functional Acrobat pdf viewer within Chrome.
Looking forward to an update, as this simply does not work as advertised. PDFs still download and do not open as advertised.
