I feel like adding a better pdf viewer would really solidify brave’s position as the default browser for me personally.
For example, edge chromium has pretty much the best pdf viewer in my honest opinion due to it’s smoothness and speed long with features.
The viewer on brave lacks basic smoothness and lags quite a bit just like chrome does and unlike edge chromium or firefox.
I generally user browsers for pdf viewing since they they are already open in the background and opening a new tab takes less time and resources than using a standalone app like adobe acrobat to view a pdf.
Maybe, PDF.js from Mozilla could be integrated instead.

Yes this is a required feature and should be added soon in Brave. Edge does better in pdf viewing but Brave is in constant development so maybe It gets these features soon.
I’ve been using brave as the default browser for the most part of the year and recently saw myself forced to install adobe acrobat reader.
I am an online teacher and would prefer to use a browser like Brave. Because of the teaching platforms that I use, I need a chromium based browser, but I also need a decent PDF reader with at least the ability to save my place in my document. I don’t really need anything super fancy, but being able to pick up where you left off would be amazing. Sadly the only browsers that I have found that do this are edge on the chromium side. Firefox does it and I love their implementation (that you can use links), but their engine is not well enough supported anymore. I feel like brave could occupy and dominate the space with a small adjustment in their toolset like this.
#Brave focus on pdf editing options !
Edge’s pdf reader is the best of all the browsers’.
