Summary

A benefit of XML is that it's "human readable". Egyptian hieroglyphics and EULAs are also "human readable", but not necessarily human friendly. This extension is your friend.

Local file access (file://) is controlled via the chrome://extensions page.

Recent Updates 2.0.3 - Remove "tabs" permission 2.0.2 - Create utils.js script tag dynamically as Chrome broke allowing static tag. Remove webintents logic/permission. Remove View Source and Options as Chrome blocks those now. 2.0.1 - Fix bug in XPath1 functionality. Updates to address localStorage issues when Options have never been saved. 2.0 - XSLT2/XPath2 support via Saxon-CE. Facelift. 1.9.2.1 - Updates due to webintents changes. 1.9.2 - Added webintents functionality to allow application/atom+xml and application/rss+xml to be viewed.
