Overview

Annoyed by PDFs that download and save instead of just showing in the tab?

This extension encourages PDFs to show in the browser rather than downloading.

That's it. Nothing else.

======== Details ========

This works by setting the "Content-Disposition: Inline" header under these conditions:

- Content is displayed in the full window (main_frame)
AND

- The response contains "Content-type: application/pdf"
OR
- The response contains "Content-type: application/octet-stream" with a filename of "*.pdf"

Note that some sites use the "download" attribute in links (e.g. <a href="" download>) which we can't override, but you can right-click those PDFs and select "Open Link in a New Tab".
