Super new to lineage, just successfully installed on an old Samsung tablet!

If I click a link to a pdf file in the browser, the pdf is downloaded and I have to select it to view it. I need pdfs to be displayed inside the browser directly. Is this possible with the buildin browser and how? And if not which browser would you recommend for this?

NB: no google play, so things have to be side loaded, if that matters to my question.

Have you tried Fennec or Firefox?

This is an issue even in stock Android or iOS, mobile browsers don't bundle in a PDF viewer like the desktop versions do.

I don't have a solution, but I've hit the same problem.

First of all congrats!

If you're new to "side-loading" or installing as we like to call it :) I highly recommend F-Droid; Fennec (like the other Firefox mobile browsers) has a built-in pdf viewer and is in the default f-droid repo

Thanks for all the answers. Installed F-Droid and then from there Fennec, works like a charm. Thanks!!!
