Only Acrobat Reader must do otherwise. That argument could be worded: * All files should be served with the correct content-type. * Non-standard http headers should be avoided. * All[1] browser plugins for opening Office/Adobe documents in the browser window can be enabled or disabled in favour of an Open/Save dialog at the user's desecration. * Given that the user does always have that choice - isn't it wrong to override their decision? > Let us say we have some bad behavior on the internet like popup > windows. Poor analogy. Popups are explicit behaviors triggered by authors, not a behaviour that some systems use given certain file formats. > Some browsers introduce a checkbox to protect the users Here we have the issue of 'some'. Compare that to the plugin issue where it becomes 'all'. [1] as far as I know
