Pros

终于找到一个可以免费看谷歌和youtube的扩展了
It does It's Job
Makes no sense to have to right click and select anything. A standard click should cause it to open in my PDF Reader program.

Cons

the inability to download the pdf to a temporary file and open it from there
It copies the file into the user's downloads folder.
Note that this requires you to do extra steps after installing, including running an install.bat file

It does work, however the inability to download the pdf to a temporary file and open it from there, the way Firefox can, makes this app unusable for me. If it would at least give the option to choose a download location I could set up my own temporary file and use Windows Task Manager to occasionally delete the file then maybe I could work with it, but it gives no other option other than your default downloads file, which I do not want filling up with a bunch of pdf's.
