I couldn't not get it to match on any filter expression. Tested my regex and it was valid. It just refused to change the content type. ?‍♂️

For experts only, minimal documentation. Would be more useful if it had a feature to snoop headers and inform you of a download's mime type.

This does not seem to modify content type when the content is displayed in an <embed> tag generated on the fly.

Only extension available that was able to render a PDF in browser. All I had to do was change octet-stream to pdf (mime-type) and attachment to inline.

Extension works great but it is no longer supported by latest version of Chrome Browser (72). Any tips on getting this working ?

It works for PDFs for me. Using the following settings: URL Filter: .* Original Type: application/.*pdf Replacement Type: application/pdf Disposition: inline

Please provide instruction on how to use it. What rule to be added to open all png images in browser itself (for all websites i visit). Currently when i click on a png, its downloading the image..

Works like a charm (not when opening a file directly, but works through a web server). I am using it to view txt files as HTML.

This is perfect for fixing over-engineered web applications like JIRA and Confluence that force your browser to download content that could easily be displayed inline.

You can use this to render git row file, which normally comes with text out put.

I added a simple rule to change all image/png to Disposition: inline. No more stupid image downloads!

Kinda sad I have to download an add-on to do something the browser should be able to do on it's own. Thanks for making this available to correct yet another one of Chrome's pitfalls. The instructions could be a lot better to make this a lot easier to use.

Awesome, works great, you need to know regex though but the instructions are great!

Very useful extension! Specifically addresses Chrome's inability to figure out that if Content-Type contains, e.g., "image/png" in the string, it's a safe bet it's a PNG and is fine to display in its own browser window if you so choose (Chrome can't understand "image/png;charset=UTF-8") :-\. Would give 5 stars if instructions were clearer.
