URL bar content for PDF file

Browser Support
1

When using the built-in PDF viewer, the URL bar contains, instead of the URL of the PDF file, a URL referring to the extension. For example, when clicking at

one gets, in the URL bar:

chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/https://www.w3.org/2019/Talks/Amersfoort-IH/Presentation.pdf

This may be a problem if one wants to, e.g., copy-paste the URL of the PDF file. The same extension is used in other browsers, and I have not seen this behaviour before…

I second that. It becomes annyong when you need to cut out part of the URL that you copy.

Please consider hiding that from the address bar.
