It allows users to view and render .ipynb files by simply dragging and dropping them into Firefox. This is a time-efficient tool for developers who just want to visualize a code, saving them from browsing directories in Jupyter Notebook to locate specific files.

Recent reviews
This addon opens local .ipynb files and renders them completely offline. To do this, it builds on existing open-source components like an iPython notebook parser (notebook.js, https://github.com/jsvine/notebookjs) and math rendering engine (katex.js, https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX). There are sometimes rendering differences for unusual notebooks but in general this works very well.
