Recent reviews
The basic operation to open a .md file does not work.
File url access is turned on in the settings.
Chrome Version 130.0.6723.92 (64-bit), "Standard" security.
Feels like additional chrome "site settings" permission(s) may be required.

Most powerful markdown viewer. Select Markdown-it for advanced features not available in ordinary Markdown, including block attributes, abbreviations, footnotes, tables and definition lists. That's in addition to the many features listed in the documentation.
Sensible options panel, allows custom CSS. Not documented afaik, apparently has some yaml support, at least the document title fwiw.
