This works great! Much quicker way to view a local jupyter notebook without having to start jupyterlab. My only worry is the message "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." that pops up in chrome web store.

You didn't mention that we must turn on the option "Allow access to file URLs", otherwise it won't work!

не будет работать. Гугл блокирует эти приложения, потому что свой Колаб пиарит падла. Все расширения для быстрого открытия ipnb перестали работать. Гугл крыса.
