For what it's worth, the Chrome Web Store includes an adaptation of
Mozilla's PDF.js JavaScript-based PDF viewer (much the same as Firefox
already uses):

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm?hl=en

It's still a bit rough around the edges---see the associated issue
thread on GitHub---but as a DFSG-friendly and security-conscious means
of viewing PDFs in Chromium, there's a lot to like about this approach.
