## Description

RDF Browser is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your experience with RDF data on the web. It modifies the browser's Accept header to request a variety of RDF content types, including `application/ld+json`, `application/n-quads`, `application/n-triples`, `application/rdf+xml`, `application/trig`, and `text/turtle`. The extension then renders these RDF responses into user-friendly Turtle documents featuring clickable links for seamless navigation.

Developed and maintained by the Chair of Technical Information Systems at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg, RDF Browser facilitates easier exploration and comprehension of semantic web data directly within your browser without needing additional tools.
