No funciona, seleccionas el archivo con extensión rtf y no hace nada, ni siquier te da un resultado negativo o de error, te deja esperando y esperando sin obtener ningún resultado y mientras esperas no sabes si realmente está haciendo algo o no, porque no hay ninguna barra de progreso que te indique si el programa está trabajando o no. Muy decepcionado.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

RTF File Viewer does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

RTF File Viewer has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
