In the versions of the latest developer assembly Chrome for Windows and Mac, a built-in PDF-reader has appeared. It can be enabled on the chrome: // plugins page. The developers promise that this plugin will soon appear in the version for Linux, and in the following developer builds the plugin will already be enabled by default.
