Nicole Ahmed (ID: 000000a5eb87142e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/07/2023 Just opens a tab to their site: https://pdfviewer.softgateon.net/ Doesn't allow opening from file urls (broken) Works well with google drive - but needs access to your whole drive which might be a security issue for you. Allows saving pictures from a page. Doesn't convert. Doesn't set default pdf viewer. This is the official extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js
