2019-12-22 TiLO Was having issues with the Office doc Add-on - kept producing an error page when trying to open DocX files. This Add-on fixed the issue. Now I can view all docs and save directly to drive without having to download as PDF or some other file. Thank you.

2019-05-31 gsm Works well, but the usability is bad. You can't control whether it will intercept the request or not. I'd like to have some “kill switch” to turn the add-on off temporarily, or perhaps some additional items in the context menu: “Open this link with Google Docs viewer” (whatever the URL is) / “Open this link as an ordinary Web site” (if the URL ends with *.doc but e.g. it is in the local intranet or requires authentication) It would also be nice if it were possible (e.g. by using about:config if it is not trivial to implement) to tweak the service URL's or add custom ones. I, for myself, once have hacked the same functionality using a configurable sharing extension: you right-click on a link and there you find “Share on Facebook”, “Send to Pocket”, “Send with GMail”, --and-- “Open in Google Docs viewer”. (It's just an idea to the Author)
