Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it's...how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?... then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like...Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?

Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company's assholes and that's the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

Firefox has a really nice reader mode, it will soon get a much better PDF viewer and it doesn't come with much bloat. You can also use LibreWolf to fully minimize bloat in Firefox and enjoy the additional privacy benefits.

That's why I switched back to Firefox. In the end, I always switch back to Firefox.

If windows had a half decent PDF viewer like every other platform we wouldn't need PDF.js

Security and Resources.

they are yet another attack surface for vulnerabilities. Modern browsers are super heavy on resources. I don't want to open a bloated browser to view a PDF, thanks.
