i dont know, on recent computers, more often than not i dont really see a diff between pdf.js and others as a user.
it seems to only be an issue on really heavy pdfs, which are pretty rare

- Ygg2 12y agoOn mobile (Android) both Fx and Chrome start downloading pdfs.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoOn mobile, both Firefox and Chrome download PDFs to be rendered by another app on Android. I'm unsure about Chrome on iOS. There is no Firefox for iOS because Apple.
- keeperofdakeys 12y agoI've found pdf.js to be a negative user experience on most pdfs I try to view. From what I've read, this is mainly because pdf.js directly renders to a canvas, and doesn't store decoded vector information. Other readers seem to be able to zoom instantly, even for vector graphics. Firefox also seems to register two separate mime-types for pdf, only giving an option to use pdf.js on one of them. I've yet to dig into firefox and fix this.
