You can view PDFs immediately without installing additional software or waiting for slow applications to load. Modern browsers handle PDFs natively and often render them faster than dedicated PDF readers.
This approach also keeps you within your existing workflow—if you're researching or comparing documents, everything stays in browser tabs rather than jumping between different applications. Plus, browser-based PDF viewing automatically inherits your browser's security updates and privacy settings, giving you consistent protection across all document types.
