I'm liking chrome more and more these days.

Good thing and a bad thing imho.

Its good because the way that adobe reader worked was never high performance, myself I always switched off its OLE support (no I don't want it to show up in a browser tab, remember I hated tabs until I could drag them out).

Its damned bad because people will have more apps rendering PDFs each with their own subtle take on it, rather than having one common library approche there will be more lines of code doing the same task, or more lines of code to have a bug in or worse in a browser a security flaw!
