Stressed out over pdf downloads

[Pastorhss]

I've had my Samsung Chromebook Plus for about six months. I've been pretty satisfied so far. (Still don't like Office) But, I've noticed of late that when using Chrome Browser, I cannot open any PDF links.

I've visited many pages with PDF links. I have Xodo for opening PDFs from my files. (which is no problem) I've tried other extensions. I go to Settings/Advanced/Privacy/Content settings/PDF and the only option is "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome". Whether I toggle on or off nothing happens!

This is really bad, since I'm a big PDF user. I have no problem opening links in Chrome using my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone or my Samsung Galaxy Tab A. Just when I use the Chromebook.

Can anyone help, please? Thanks.

Try finding a Chrome PDF extension. I don't use Chrome regularly so I've never installed one, but there are probably at least a few.

Which Chrome OS version are you on? Are you on Stable or Beta?
