Mol* Linker is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically detects molecular structure file links on GitHub and GitLab, and injects a one-click badge to open them in the Mol* web viewer — pre-configured with your preferred representation style.
No downloads. No local software. Click a badge, see your structure in 3D.
