Does anyone else find that Chrome appears to freeze whenever you click a link which loads a PDF file within the browser? I can use the back button to get out of it, but the PDF won’t load.

I have to ‘right click > save link as…’ to view the file.

I’m on version 16.0.912.75 m

Nope, not happening here in the happy land of Linux anyway.

Works fine here.

OSX 10.7.2

Hmmm, time to fiddle with some settings perhaps. Thanks guys.

…or update to the latest standard or Beta version.

Do you have the built in PDF viewer enabled?
I had the same problem, due to it using Foxit PDF reader plugin which was failing to start.

There is a built in PDF viewer but it seems to be disabled by default on Windows at least. Looky here:
