Firefox 106 brings PDF annotations to browser

I find that thing misleading:

> Second, as malware-laden PDFs are unfortunately still a thing, the less need there is to open a PDF locally, the more it helps your system security.

To read PDFs, Firefox downloads them locally, so that is not what differentiates it from other PDF-reading software.

Sure, maybe Firefox's viewers is more secure than Adobe's, but in the end both parse PDFs locally.

This is actually amazing timing, I have an upcoming project which is going to use PDF.js which requires basic annotations, so it would probably be some hacky solution to patch it in with a lot of work. Now it's just plug'n'play.

How does it compare with the one in Edge? Edge's annotation features are really awesome; PDF or websites. I used Edge extensively to annotate ebooks for studies. It was a real life saver.

The annotations are appended to the original PDF. I wonder if there's a library to collect all annotations and merge them into one file.

RCE at a new level. Just don't open PDFs in the browser.

I wasn’t sure how to do pdf annotations, so that’s pretty handy

Yes and bring back the blink tag.
