RicePDF: I got tired of the boring (and blinding) default PDF viewer, so I made an extension
Hey everyone,
I spend way too much time reading PDFs in the browser, and the default Firefox PDF viewer (PDF.js) always felt a bit boring—and worse, blinding at night. Since extensions can't modify the built-in privileged PDF page directly, I decided to package a custom viewer as a browser extension.
I called it RicePDF.
• Custom Themes: You can change the PDF's background and text colors to match your system theme.
• Zen Mode / Space Saving: You can show/hide the toolbar to maximize screen space for the actual content. (Press F3)
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ricepdf/
Chrome: Coming soon (you can download from github and manaully add it for now)
It’s open source and fully customizable. If you’ve ever wanted to build your own PDF.js add-on, you can also use this repo as a boilerplate.
Would love to hear what you guys think or if there are any specific themes you'd like to see!
Repo: https://github.com/yhcb21/RicePDF
I will be adding more themes soon! Please drop your suggestions
