Overview

Uses HTML5 to display PDF files directly in the browser.

PDF.js is a Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer that is built with HTML5. PDF.js is community-driven and supported by Mozilla Labs.

Worked well until recently. Instead of opening pdf links in a tab, now I often get prompted to download, which is the main thing I want to avoid - cluttered downloads.

This is the PDF extension you want to install. It 'just works'. It gives me exactly what I want. Full page view, same shortcuts as Acrobat. I made the big mistake of installing the Adobe Acrobat extension. All I wanted was a PDF viewer that behaved like Acrobat, meaning that I could get a full page view and use Acrobat shortcuts to navigate. But no, I got a tiny multipage view with no shortcuts. Typical complete Adobe fail. I uninstalled it immediately and installed this extension instead.
