RTF Viewer - Chrome Extension for Rich Text Format Files

RTF Viewer is a unique Chrome extension for conveniently viewing Rich Text Format (.rtf) files in the browser. By clicking on any RTF file link, the file contents will automatically be displayed in the existing tab, similar to Chrome's PDF preview feature. For accessing local files, permission can be granted to the extension, giving access to file URLs. RTF Viewer operates independently of external services, ensuring a seamless RTF viewing experience.

Does not open rtf files on Linux Mint.

Juergen Menge, 2021-08-16

is it possible at all to open local files in chrome with this? Files in web urls seem to work, but even if I do a local directory index page and click on a file:// url like [file:///C:/Users/username/Desktop/Sample.rtf] it does a download instead of rendering.
