Latest version
Version 2.0.0
Released Apr 12, 2026 - 3.11 MBWorks with firefox 58.0 and laterWhat's new
Export — PDF, DOCX, HTML
* Export to PDF via the browser's native print dialog, with the active theme preserved in the output (10 themes, 3 rendering modes, 6 font schemes)
* Export to DOCX — editable Word document with nested formatting, lists, task list checkboxes, Mermaid diagrams, blockquotes, tables, and syntax-highlighted code
* Export to HTML — self-contained web page with inlined CSS and optional embedded fonts
* On sandboxed pages (e.g. raw.githubusercontent.com), the PDF tile is dimmed with a tooltip pointing to Cmd/Ctrl+P, and DOCX/HTML downloads route through the background
Presentation Mode
* Full-screen slideshow from any rendered markdown document — one click in the action strip
* Slides split on --- horizontal rules (Pandoc/Marp convention); falls back to H1/H2 headings for unstructured documents
* Keyboard navigation: arrows (next/prev slides), up/down (scroll within a slide), Home/End, Space, Escape
* Auto-fading progress bar + slide counter at the bottom
* Font and content width scaled up for audience legibility
* Code blocks wrap instead of horizontal scroll so they don't keyboard-trap
Read Mode improvements: Font and content width now scale by 1.3x from the user's settings for comfortable long-form reading
TOC sidebar
* Reading-progress footer is now pinned (sticky) while the link list scrolls
* Drag-to-resize handle on the left edge, 220–480 px bounds, persisted across sessions
"Render this page" button: Now works on pages without a .md extension (e.g. bare LICENSE files on raw.githubusercontent.com)
Firefox compatibility
* Fixed rendering on Firefox's text viewer (different DOM structure from Chrome)
* Fixed auto-reload polling on local file:// URLs in Firefox
* Fixed theme-watcher cleanup after extension reload
12-language support (new)
* Full internationalization with 12 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (PT and BR), Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Italian, Russian, and Arabic (with RTL support)
* All UI strings, tooltips, settings panel, export dialog, and accessibility labels are localized
* Extension name and store description are localized across all 12 languagesSource code released under All Rights Reserved
