Why do Opera and all Chrome-based browsers not have the option to open PDF files with the default system application? In my case, it is Acrobat, but it could be any app. I often need to rearrange the pages before saving or printing the PDF file and the built-in readers do not allow editing of the file. It would be very helpful if Chrome-based browsers would allow choosing default system apps for all file types. If Opera and all Chrome-based browsers added this option I would drop Firefox as my default browser, but Firefox is the only browser that allows default apps.

RE: PDF Open with default system appOpera for Windows
@leocg There is an option to download PDF files but why don't Chromium browsers offer the option to open the PDF directly in the default system application like Firefox and most older browsers allowed? I think it has to do with Google/Alphabet not wanting to lose out on its data mining of everything we do online.
