Awesome extension! Works in Linux well with Gnome image viewer, and for videos, VLC and MPV. I was even able to get it to work with links needing passwords. Thanks so very much for making this!

Group menu items is bad idea.

Exactly what I needed. I use this for opening videos inside MPV, can see myself finding other uses for it in the future. Fairly scary looking interface if your not sure what you doing but, but very easy install! Thank you!

This is an ideal solution. Got it working in less than 3 minutes for Chrome/Windows10... and, that includes watching the installation video for Windows. Super easy!

The installation process of the native client is very user unfriendly. Instead of just writing a description for each OS on this page, the maintainer of this extension forces you to follow several links to vague pages. Installation of the native client could take 5 seconds, but thanks to the vague description, it takes 5 minutes.

Работает, и через контекстное меню, и по кнопке самого расширения. Подхватило видео с youtube, на котором Open In VLC выдавал ошибку. Не хватает возможности подключить и настроить сразу несколько программ, а так при подключении, например, текстового редактора, расширение тут же забывает про видеоплеер.

Very useful extension for me. Mostly using it to open YouTube videos in mpsyt. Works well, intuitive, but not 5 stars because adding runners requires a PNG icon.

Cannot figure out how to install the native client, followed instructions on video and just takes me to options page in chrome
