In this guide, we will show you the steps to open Notepad text files .txt in a web browser. Notepad does its job quite well when it comes to handling text files. However, in some instances, it might not be able to handle large-size TXT files.

In such cases, your best bet will be to open the Notepad text files .txt in a web browser. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
