Google Chrome Annoying Download warning. There is a workaround on Ubuntu for people that are really fed up with this problem by now and do not want to recompile the source code on the other hand. The reasoning is quite simple. Perhaps we do not want Chrome to decide which files to automatically open, but we are better able to do it ourselves. So, just as Uniblab suggests, tell Chrome to download the file, not open the file. Chrome 8 (stable) now provides the Chrome PDF Viewer plug-in enabled by default. The important feature of this plug-in is that it is sandboxed for added security.This only means pressing Enter once. Use for example $HOME/setup as download folder. Then (on Linux) have a script in the background that is notified through inotify.#!/bin/bash. HOME/setup. flags="- -format %f". This will automatically open a file if it has MIME type application/pdf, so be careful. You can check for malicious code yourself before you open it using your favorite executable code scanner. To use the script at start- up, edit crontab - e: @reboot /usr/bin/abovescript.

It should be the task of a dedicated program (much more complicated then this script) that is allowed to start applications on your computer. Perhaps to allow Chrome to do that is actually a potential security breach. Of course on Windows you will need to find another tool. On Mac. OS, you might want to use fswatch which is in homebrew. Turn notifications on or off; Speed up Google Chrome; Use your camera and microphone in Chrome; Check Chrome's connection to a site; Change website permissions. How to Disable Chrome’s Built-in PDF Viewer Type about:plugins in the address bar and hit Enter: On the Plug-ins page, scroll down until you see Chrome PDF Viewer. I had exactly this problem with an exe file that is downloadable from my web site. Whenever I tried to download the file using Chrome it gave the warning.
