Pdf download warning.



I respect your dislike of direct download links, but what browsers still download PDFs these days?


All of them. Sometimes they open the downloaded PDF in the internal viewer maybe, but PDF is a pretty dangerous format either way. It's getting safer to open them though.


Firefox on Android, for example. I guess they just didn't want to add mobile UI to pdf.js?


Firefox on Android supports PDF viewing (using pdf.js) as of version 111: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/android/111.0/releasen...


Im on brave mobile and it downloaded the pdf automatically when I clicked the link.
