I also use this for work. This hasn't worked correctly for years. I discovered it when Google Calendar, which my store uses, experienced this issue. I first had the problem in 2016. This was under the old brave-laptop codebase. How is the current codebase, a hacked up Chrome, still having this issue?

I'm being forced to keep FireFaux open to use GC, and I don't like that. EDIT: for the time being I've reinstalled 0.26. Be avenged, Mr. Eich! :)

This still is not working, so I'm assuming that for the time being this issue is being overlooked. My current workaround is simply to download instead of using PDF.js but this is a clunky solution. Is this going to be addressed any time soon? As shown by the duplicate bug I just marked, this is affecting more people than just me.
