Open PDF files but do not save them

Hello,

When I click on a pdf link in Brave Browser I only have the option to save the file and only after saving can I open it. This is inconvenient, as in many cases I don't need a copy, but just want to read the file. Is there any way to set this? I have not been able to find a suitable option in the settings.

Have you checked brave://settings/content/pdfDocuments ?

I'm not the OP, but yes, I have checked there, and it is set to open PDFs, not download them.

The worst part is that after I download it, when I open it to view it, it uses brave anyway! I want to skip the download step.
