About Markdown Render
Markdown Render turns raw Markdown into a styled reading view inside the tab. It works on local files (file://) and on web responses served as raw Markdown or plain text. It does not touch already-rendered HTML pages, so it does not take over GitHub, GitLab, or Forgejo Markdown viewers.
Features:
- Styled reading view for Markdown documents.
- Table of contents generated from headings.
- GitHub-style callouts and admonitions.
- Mermaid diagrams, rendered from fenced code blocks.
- Syntax highlighting for code blocks.
- Task-list checkboxes.
- Light, dark, and system themes.
- Conservative detection: on the web it only takes over a raw text/Markdown response, never a rendered HTML page.
Privacy and data:
- Reads the current page's Markdown text only to render it locally in the tab.
- Stores only a theme preference (light/dark/system) via chrome.storage.
- Transmits nothing off-device. No analytics, no telemetry, no runtime network requests.
- Mermaid and highlight.js are bundled locally. No CDN and no remote code.
Open source, licensed GPL-3.0-or-later. It collects no data.
