This sounds very promising, but it doesn't seem to work for GitHub releases such as this one: https://github.com/LinqLover/sonyx/releases/download/v0.2/sonyx-study-final.pdf

Works as described! For those who say it doesn't: Make sure your default browser behaviour is also set to open PDFs instead of downloading them as this blocker only sets forcedownload=0. (For Chrome: Settings Security and privacy Site settings Additional content settings PDF documents)

It did not work for me on the web page where I tried it; the link still forces a download. The URL that I clicked does not contain PDF in it instead it has this string at the end: AttachmentViewer.ashx?AttachmentID=57723&ItemID=35671, which may mean that the extension will not detect that a PDF is is being forced to download, I don't know. I do know that if it does not work or only works in limited cases it is of little use to me.

It worked for me only if I open the links in a new tab. I solved this with a shortcut (clicking the links with middle touchpad button for opening new tabs).

Worked for some PDFs, but did not work for others. I don't think this extension actually overrides the "content-disposition: attachment" header.
