https://.../epdf/... -> https://.../pdf/...

Works for some places at least. Super infuriating though. Why use the fast native PDF viewer in the browser when you could use a bloated and buggy JS app?

Very informative, but I'd change one small thing.

Why use the fast native PDF viewer ~~in the browser~~ when you could use a bloated and buggy JS app?

Fair, but certain corporate-mandated client-side PDF viewers are... bloatier. Though, I do like not having another window to manage when I open in browser, particularly when doing web searches. It pairs well with tab grouping extensions, and I generally don't use markup, so no loss for me there.
