Hello,
for some time now Chromium has had the feature that it won't download pdf's before getting my explicit confirmation. While I can see the safety concern behind it, it is extremely annoying if one opens lots of pdf's like I do, and knows that they are from a trustworthy source. I can't find the option in the preferences. Is there any way to stop Chromium from behaving like Vista?

My best guess is that you would have to remove .pdf from the dangerous extensions list and recompile chromium.

Oh my, I never thought about it. Thanks, I'll give it a try. Heh, time to find out if I can compile it.

Honestly, I didn't watch the whole but I guess I get the gist. But asking for confirmation every time I download a pdf is a weak protection. If I decide to download a pdf, it's because I want to open it and see what's inside. If I have to press "Yes" somewhere on the way, I'll do it just as many times as I have to, It won't stop me from opening it, it'll just get me annoyed, I acknowledge pdf's aren't as harmless as they seem but what can I do about it? I can't stop reading articles only because the author chose to upload them in a format which is standard but can potentially be dangerous. As soon as I learn there exists a better format, I'll upload mine in both pdf and the better thing, and this is pretty much about all I can do.
So, thank you for the warning but I'm afraid I still want the saving confirmation gone.
