Tony, The nearest I’ve come to finding add-ons in Chrome is “extensions,” via “settings” in the menu. I don’t know if you have a problem opening settings, which many of us but not everyone does. In case you do, turn off the virtual cursor with insert-z. to get to “Extensions:” takes a lot of tabbing. Even when I get there, only one extension is listed, no matter how many ways I try to expand it.
I guess I’m hoping that you or others can improve on my limit discovery so far.

The Adobe XI checkbox you refer to is now buried in Adobe DC’s edit menu, as I explained in my original post. This checkbox, which purports to determine whether a PDF file will or will not open in a browser, works for IE, but has no impact on Chrome.

There used to be a checkbox there labeled, "Display PDF in Browser," which was checked by default and needs to be unchecked. Since doing the same thing I recommended earlier Chrome is now attempting to download and save any PDF link I click rather than opening it in my chosen PDF viewer. Based on what I'm finding out there this has been a recurring problem, but at least it gives you the option to save the file and then open it with your PDF Reader of choice. What version of Windows are you on and what Adobe Reader are you using. It's become more than a bit complicated to disentangle browser, Windows, and Adobe tweaks necessary over time, much to everyone's chagrin. Brian
