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)

Simple and efficient! An options' panel with a domain white/black list would be a cool addition. Also, the ability to pick other mime-types would be a big plus :)

Sometimes fails, producing this warning: Warning: This extension failed to modify the response header "content-disposition" of a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension (Render PDFs Inline).

Does what it says on the tin. It would be nice to be able to override content-disposition for other filetypes as well (I sometimes see it with images).

Thank you for making this. I've been going through lots of spec sheets for various products lately and half will open inline, half will insist on downloading. I don't want 500 random PDFs sitting around in my downloads folder, so this extension solves that for me.

It doesn't seem to always work.
