Firefox's new AI-powered 'Smart Window' feature is taking shape in development builds – I gave it a hands on in the latest v149.0b7 beta (on macOS).

    I use Firefox as a PDF reader at work. it’s better than Adobe Reader or Chrome, and it’s good enough, so I haven’t bothered finding something else.

    I deal with secure information sometimes, in PDF form. I haven’t even considered that this information might not remain local.

        Looks interesting! I can’t see it in their docs, can it display the font type and size of a selected text? I’ve been using PDF-XChange Viewer mostly for that feature. (Lol I just noticed it has been discontinued since 2018 😬)

        I’ve been using it for ages whenever I need to open PDFs on Windows. Though nowadays browsers handle them too. And I avoid Windows.

        It is genuinely excellent software.
