Bug Description
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
chromium-browser 8.0.552.215 (67652) from Ubuntu 10.10's universe has a regression compared to the 7.x series: you can't auto-open PDF files anymore, they are considered "dangerous"...
Changed in chromium-browser (Ubuntu): | |

To post a comment you must log in.
To be fair though, PDFs are dangerous if you use Adobe software to read them.
Maybe Chromium should check to see if Adobe Reader is installed, and omit that message if it isn't.
Alternatively, there should just be an option to disable that message.
