Hi Roy,

Errr...No. I can only install extensions to the Chrome
browswer that are made available through the Chrome
browser "extension finder"...stuff like AdBlockPlus.
I cannot modify the data servers themselves.
I need either a browser extension or a website that
let's me point it towards a netCDF files on a
second, publicly accessible website. And the
Chrome extension comes up empty when I enter "netcdf".
Is it really possible that no one has written a
browser extension to graphically view netCDF files?
