    Extremely barebones, missing and incomplete features like page-at-a-time scrolling, bookmarks and context menus. It's like a beta version. It functions... but unless you're on a raspberry pi or something and need the light weight, just opening files in your browser is more functional.

    In version 8, Google Chrome introduced a free PDF viewer, installed by default. While this plug-in lacks many features of the Adobe Acrobat Plug-in, it is much faster and lighter, and updates with the browser rather than an external utility.
