How is a browser downloading an html file any different than requesting a PDF other than size? If anything it's useful to be able to pop it over into the Documents app and read later.
I guess it's not responsive but to be honest that's a feature not a bug lol. I guess the editorial concern is the bigger issue.

When I use a browser, I generally expect to use its UI. If it transferred a PDF but showed it in the normal UI (colloquially not referred to as "downloading," although yes, it still is an inbound transfer of data), it'd be less annoying.
- dang 5y agogeofft has it - I wasn't saying pdfs were annoying, but rather that it's annoying to click on a pdf (or html or anything else) and have it save something to my hard drive rather than displaying the damn thing. First, I want to see it, not save it; and second, I want to decide for myself what to save locally. Anyhow, no big deal! just a pet peeve
