I am troubleshooting a problem with opening PDFs from websites so I uninstalled Adobe Reader. Out of curiosity I checked whether I could still open PDFs from websites (here is a random example). Surprisingly I could still open PDFs from both Chrome (my preferred browser) and Internet Explorer. I believe IE is using Edge to open the PDFs but the PDF interface looks different in Chrome, so it might be another application. Unfortunately I can't uninstall Edge to check. How can I figure out what application Chrome is using to open PDFs from websites?
21Chrome has a built-in PDF viewer, Microsoft Edge also has a built-in PDF viewer. You should be able to type "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome URL bar and see what's installed. – Andrew – 2018-11-27T20:39:33.157
I get ERR_INVALID_URL when I type chrome://plugins in my URL bar, unfortunately. – KAE – 2018-11-27T20:57:34.660
Use chrome://settings/content to control when Adobe Flash content is displayed and chrome://components to display the version of Adobe Flash Player installed.
