ChartFox Browser Extension Extension

The ChartFox browser extension integrates with the ChartFox web application to allow seamless loading of aeronautical charts from chart suppliers in ChartFox, allowing us to give you a better viewing experience in-app.

It does this by working in the background to modify response headers when we request PDF documents from chart suppliers, meaning that you are downloading the PDF direct from the supplier, but allowing us to display it in an integrated way within the application.

This extension is made by the team behind ChartFox, and is the only Official ChartFox extension.
