## Description

Office Web is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your experience with office documents online. It intercepts downloads of office files such as .doc, .ppt, .xls, and .odt, displaying them instantly in a browser-based online viewer engine. This eliminates the need for additional software and allows for quick, seamless viewing directly within your browser.

Users can choose to download the files after previewing them via a download button on the viewer page or resume the intercepted download from the browser's downloads panel (Ctrl + J). If preferred, the extension can be disabled to download office files in the standard manner. Office Web streamlines handling of office documents, making it an essential tool for productivity and convenience.
