I'm trying this google chrome plugin that previews md files in chrome. But when I open an md file from local filesystem, chrome downloads it instead of opening it. So the plugin cannot preview it.

md files from the internet are opened as expected. But I want that to work for files on my local filesystem.

My OS is ArchLinux with KDE.

    This is not unix/linux related. Should be on superuser

According to the plugin's webpage you need to "Check 'Allow access to file URLs' in chrome://extensions listing:" The check box is normally hidden, but there is a tab on the left to open it up.

    In my extensions check box is marked, but still browser download file and this behavior only for markdown file. For other source code I can see the file in browser.
