Bu not everyone will want to install another browser just to download PDF files. I simply copy and paste the link in Firefox and download the file. I, for some reason, also have Mozilla Firefox installed on all of my PCs alongside Chrome. While the ability to directly view a PDF file without having to download it really helpful, sometimes it’s not, and quite the opposite. There isn’t even a download button you can click anywhere to download that PDF file. At no point does it ask whether you want to download it instead. If you dry to click on the link to a PDF file on Chrome, instead of downloading it, Chrome simply opens it. What if you do want to download PDF files on Chrome though? This means Chrome users can directly open PDF files inside the browser rather than having to download it first. Google Chrome has the support for PDF files built-in.

Those that don’t, manage this via extensions or add-ons.

To put this in perspective, Mozilla Firefox, the second in line only has a meager 11.44% market share. Most modern web browsers these days arrive with support for PDF files in-built. Google Chrome was recently declared as the most popular desktop browser with 66.87% of the market share.
