Javascript PDF iframe Links Don't Download When "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Brave" is Checked

I’m having an issue where javascript links pointing to a PDF in an iframe don’t display and won’t download like they used to a few months ago. “Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Brave” is checked in Site Settings. The iframe type is “application/pdf” and the “src=” is a “blob:” URL that does not have a PDF extension.

Unchecking “Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Brave” does not change anything. I have been able to open this PDF successfully in Firefox.

The iframe loads as such:

When I click “Open”, it navigates to “about:blank” in a new tab.

Please help, thanks.

Brave Version: 0.67.125

@Yep,
I believe that we have a fix for this that should be pushed in the next major browser update to 0.68x – you should see an update notification tomorrow for this.
