CHROME NOTES:

The Chrome plugins link was removed in Chrome 57 and above.  There is more information about this deprecation here.   Most of the items which were on the Chrome://Plugins link that are still relevant are found through Settings>Show advanced settings…>Privacy, Content settings...   In Content settings, all the way at the bottom of the page, there is a toggle under "PDF Documents":  "Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application".  Unlike what it sounds, if this is checked, PDF's will default to be opened in the Default Viewer in Windows.  If one is not set as a Default viewer in Windows, then it will open with the Chrome Viewer.  Here is a link to choosing a default PDF viewer in Windows 10 on our Online Customer Help page, which you can use if logged into DealerPeak.
