What a time saver! Works very well for me, as of Chrome Version 125.0.6422.78 (May 2024). It replaces the usual timer with an "Open PDF" button.

It still works for me in December 2022! You only have to click "open PDF" to download some of the score. But it could be improved, if it could directly redirect to the pdf without the "warning" webpages

I love this extension but it has now stopped working.
