User reviews
Opening 20s of tabs for no reason resulting shutting down the browser unexpectedly on Brave Browser
Thank you for good and useful extension.
But I think it would be better if the behavior was slightly different:
- If user clicks "Open" button in the file download dialog, the extension intercepts the download and displays the file in browser.
- If user clicks "Save" or "Save As", the file is downloaded normally.
It would allow user to choose if they want to view file in browser or download it directly.
Or alternatively, please at least add a on/off toggle button to the extension. Because it's not very convenient to disable the extension every time you want to download files normally.
