User reviews
holy cow, this works!! There's a url i've been trying to view but it's in the form of a word document so i've been looking for something that will let me view it in my browser instead of saving it to my laptop. After several similar extensions have failed, this one has worked beautifully. Granted, I've had it less than a day but if any future problems occur, i'll make sure to update this review. so far it's exactly what i need!
Note: it only opens word documents (.doc and .docx), not pdf files or spreadsheets. This is fine by me since those automatically open up in google docs and google sheets. Word documents however, require that you download them to view their content. This extension enables you open it in google docs without having to save it to your computer! yay!
