Works as designed.

OK then it's another "feature instead of bug" situation. May I ask how can I 
disable it as the default app to open a pdf in Chrome? I couldn't find such an 
option. Actually it's not a default program in the system settings->apps tab. 
So I have no idea how EbookDroid registers to be the default PDF viewer for the 
browser. Thank you very much.

EBookDroid resister itself as handler for pdf documents. If we (you) remove 
this then Chrome can not open pdf at all. Use save/download feature in chrome 
if you do not want pdf to be opened.

I like this design. Before, I had to manually delete a lot of PDFs that I only 
read once and didn't want to keep. But it would be good if eBookDroid had a 
"Save as" or "Save a copy" operation for those cases when I do want to keep a 
copy of a file opened from the browser. Without such an operation it can be 
inconvenient to get a local copy of a PDF: if it's a link you followed from the 
browser you can long tap and request it to be saved, but (1) this fails 
sometimes (I think when a PDF does not have the right extension) and (2) 
sometimes the link was not in a webpage but from a third party app.

Ok. I think we can add such feature.
