As a graduate student I'm opening up academic articles, papers, etc in PDF form very often. Does anybody else notice that Chrome handles PDFs very poorly? For me it won't even load properly about 10% of the time. When it does load, it scrolls like crap about 50% of the time. Is ANYBODY else having this problem besides me? Also, it seems to handle videos and flash inadequately sometimes.. | ||

Wouldn't it be better to open your PDF's in an external app designed for this (aka FoxitReader)? | ||

I guess I'm wondering if this is something Google knows about and will hopefully be trying to fix with the next update? | ||

On my work computer I use preview and at home i just use foxit for pdf handling both of which work well. There might be a new addon for foxit integration for in browser pdf files but wouldnt you rather use an external application to begin with? | ||

Adobe probably hasn't done that good of a job in adapting their Adobe Reader code for Chrome (though I haven't heard any reports of this so take my advice with a grain of salt). On another note, you could always open PDFs with Google Docs or just open them on your computer. You download the PDF whether you read it online or not so.... | ||

Chrome its so awesome. simplicity and the ability to make new windows just by taking a tab out of chrome!!!!!!!!! seriously. fastest browser so far. You know you can do that with opera, infact you can always drag that tab and add it into another window and combine it! Ofc this is becuase how opera handles "tabbed" browsing is acutlly though making them a series of windows grouped into another window so pulling those windows out and putting them back in is a simple task. | ||

This is at this point considered good browser design. That Firefox doesn't have this feature is certainly a flaw, but one that's almost certainly going to be gone in Firefox 4. | ||

I wish they even took out 'open in new window' option from the current builds. I freaking hate having more than 1 instance of browser running (even if it means having 60 open tabs) so the 'take tab out and make new window out of it' is not an option for me. | ||
