User reviews
Users praise Jupyter Notebook Viewer for providing a fast, simple way to view local notebooks without launching JupyterLab or kernels. The extension works well offline with a clean interface and is appreciated for its reliability and active development. However, many users struggle initially because the necessary "Allow access to file URLs" setting is not prominently mentioned, leading to confusion. Some Windows users report difficulties getting it to work, and dark mode support is limited. There's also concern about potential future lack of Chrome support due to extension policies.

Jiadong, 2025-04-22This 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.
