Default Player for Google Drive™ Extension

⭐ Open any audio or image in the default Chromium viewer, instead of the unusable audio player and image viewer Google uses in some of their products like Google Drive.

Supported websites:
✔️ Google Drive™
✔️ Google Classroom™
✔️ Gmail™

❗ The purpose of this extension is to enable you to use the built-in audio player and image viewer. However, they are very similar to the ones Google uses on their websites, so I definitely recommend using another extension like the ones listed below for the best experience:
