minus-squareunexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25arrow-down5·2 years agoUnless your browser is poopy, it should just open the pdf in the browser without saving it as a file.

minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down1·2 years agoHow else should it even be possible? Obviously every browser needs to download it and 100 % too.
minus-squareworkerONE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·2 years agoIt could put it in a temporary cache that’s deleted when you close it
minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·2 years agoSo it did safe the file…?
minus-squareunexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 years agoYeah smarty pants obviously it has to download the data, but by default it shouldnt permanently store it as a file in your download folder. Files like this should go into a tmp file or only into RAM.
minus-squareIcyToes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 years agoI’d check if I was you. I think both Chrome and Firefox keep it in downloads folder
minus-squareunexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoIdk about default Firefox, but both Fennec on Android and Librewolf on Desktop do not permanently save it.
minus-squareMango@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 years agoYes, obviously. That’s what we have a problem with.
minus-squaremexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 years agoDownloads it? Yes. Save as a file? No, atleast not permanently
minus-squareIcyToes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·2 years agoYeah, usually in downloads folder for Firefox. I think Chrome is the same.
minus-squareIcyToes@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down4·2 years agoExcept a webpage isn’t exactly stored on the computer. JS and CSS files are cached. Images also, but not HTML. So no, not like a web page.
