Really? I can't stand that. My download folder ends up cluttered with (inevitably weirdly named) PDF files. Worse, I suddenly am switching between programs and tabs, rather than just tabs, and the two programs have very different search interfaces (and Preview.app's is downright clumsy). Since I rarely look at a PDF if I'm not researching something, navigation and searching are really important considerations.
I'm quite happy with the Chrome PDF viewer though.
- jowiar 14y agoFor me it put anything in my download folder. It opens in the browser in a reasonable, non-resource-abusive fashion. I'm on Safari 6/Mountain Lion, so I'm not sure what version this happened.
- mistercow 14y agoOK, that's new in Mountain Lion apparently (Lion was the OS X that chased me away). I assumed it was the same as in previous versions since you mentioned Preview.app, but it appears that Preview.app isn't involved anymore when you open links in Safari; it just uses a built-in PDF viewer the same way Chrome does.
