Is Docs PDF/PowerPoint Viewer (by Google) safe?
Opens supported document links in Google Docs Viewer instead of downloading them.
When you click a supported document link, the extension sends you to Google Docs Viewer so you can view the file in the browser. Its options let you ignore specific domains, disable selected file formats, and enable Google Docs viewing for PDFs. The store description says the extension is obsolete and recommends Google’s Office Editing for Docs, Sheets & Slides extension instead.
