I often search for PDF files (Books) in Google using filetype:pdf search operator. Quite often there are multiple spammy PDF files with their link titles being similar to books I am searching for.

I wonder if there is a Chrome browser extension that would show PDF file SIZES in Google Search Results for all PDF links, preferrably without downloading any file?

I think that Chrome extension could use HTTP HEAD requests and this JavaScript code to get a file length from response headers without downloading the file. Hopefully someone would be willing to spend some time and put together a working extension into Chrome Web Store
