## Description

Browser & Documents Manager is a Chrome extension that helps you download and browse documents on iPhone, iPad, and other devices as if you were on a desktop. It offers no storage limits and a full download manager with auto-corrected file names, pause/resume, and background downloads. The built-in browser mimics Safari with private mode, multiple tabs, bookmarks, a customizable search engine, and a favourites grid.

The included file manager lets you edit, organize, and extract ZIP archives, and supports 100+ formats (docs, xls, pdf, html, txt, etc.). It integrates with iCloud, Camera Roll, and iTunes file sharing, and you can open files in other apps with Open In. Note: Downloads cannot include audio or video files; content must be non-audio/visual.
