en Used to work really well, though the latest update made the PDF detection really aggressive and it tries to render PDFs out of zip files as well. Could you fix this real quick?

en Good feature idea! Sadly a of 2024-03-21 the extension in it lates released version 2016.4.7 is not working anymore in the current Chrome 122.0.6261.129. Tried it on https://www.bmf.gv.at/services/publikationen/das-steuerbuch.html where the PDFs use "Content-Disposition: attachment" and enforcing PDF inline display fails, instead the PDFs just trigger a download.
