Recent update:
- (2022/08) This version turns off the experimental feature of "using iframe to show top-frame PDFs" by default, because in some edge cases (e.g. on some web servers) it would fail in accessing PDF files. While you may re-enable it as you like. There should be no other difference after a PDF file gets showing.
