Google released version 87 released in November of its Chrome browser adding a new PDF reader integrated with new features. The PDF Viewer Update allows you to preview thumbnails and adds a controller for zooming and the ability to rotate pages.
The new integrated PDF reader in the browser improves the user experience, adding new buttons and display modes for both those who use Chrome on PC Windows than on devices MacOS. At the moment the function is not activated by default and in order to use it the user must activate it by going to the appropriate section Flags of Chrome, which allows it to be enabled. The redesigned reader in the latest version of Chrome resembles the PDF document viewer already integrated into the browser Firefox, which is currently considered the best reader of this type of file directly online.
