Плагин делает всё, что заявлено. Отзыв "Не работает с локальными файлами" неверен. Всё отлично работает, если сделать всё, что написано в инструкции по установке. (Check "Allow access to file URLs" in chrome://extensions listing, "Управление расширениями" - "Сведения" - "Разрешить открывать локальные файлы по ссылкам".)
