chrome-force-pdf-inline

A Chrome extension to force PDFs to render inline (overrides Content-Disposition: attachment).

This prevents PDFs from saving & downloading instead of simply opening in Chrome.

Versions

There are two version of this extension:

• The declarativeWebRequest (DWR) version, which uses an API only available in the beta/dev channels of Chrome. This is lean, and works as an event page.

• The legacy blockingWebRequest version, which works on the Stable channel of Chrome, but uses an annoying blocking request handler and an always in-memory background page.

Installation

Install this app from the Chrome store
