        Unless your browser is poopy, it should just open the pdf in the browser without saving it as a file.

            How else should it even be possible? Obviously every browser needs to download it and 100 % too.

              It could put it in a temporary cache that’s deleted when you close it

            Yeah smarty pants obviously it has to download the data, but by default it shouldnt permanently store it as a file in your download folder. Files like this should go into a tmp file or only into RAM.

                Yes, obviously. That’s what we have a problem with.

                Idk about default Firefox, but both Fennec on Android and Librewolf on Desktop do not permanently save it.

              Except a webpage isn’t exactly stored on the computer. JS and CSS files are cached. Images also, but not HTML. So no, not like a web page.

            It has to download any content it shows you, whether that’s a web page, pdf, or anything else. It can’t just magically know what to display without downloading it. Whether it stores it permanently is another question. Most browsers don’t do this. If yours does there’s probably a setting for that, or it’s just a really bad browser.

      This doesn’t answer the primary concern though. Do male lions have the same hunt participation rate after being in a pride? All this paper talks about is strategy. Everyone knows male lions hunt, they have to before they get a pride. But what about after? Do they hunt at the same rate? Or just stop altogether?
