Summary

When quickly looking through csv data files online, you either have to download and open them with Excel, Numbers, etc., or try to skim through the data in its raw state...

CSV Reader makes it much easier: It allows you to look at the data formatted as a table, so you can make decisions faster.

This extension transforms raw csv to a simple html table in seconds, and shows it online in the same tab:

Give CSV Reader some settings (separator, title line, lines to skip, links in text) and it will format the table nicely so it's easy to read, in the same tab where the data was.

The extension now stops .csv files from downloading, and remembers your settings for each url.

If needed, you can easily reset the data with a single click.
