Neat! Increased browser PDF support, and further minimizing my need to ever need to use predatory Adobe products for niche use cases, is always very welcomed.
PDF.js is great. I used to even use a chrome extension to use it in chrome back when I needed to use it. I think that extension hasn't been kept up to date though.
I'm no longer concerned about exploits from sketchy PDFs.
Does it add the text as comments, or as "actual PDF content"? Comments are fine in most cases (and always when printing the document for archaic ceremonies involving ink and paper signatures), but I've had a few cases where I'd wished there was an easy way to add "actual text" in Apple's Preview.app.
That's what I do too, but sometimes I forget it, and then I suffer the consequences e.g. when using e-signing (which sometimes covers comments/annotations, but not always, but in any case creates a very high possibility of random PDF viewers breaking the signature in my experience).
I recently discovered it and I love it, one place for you to fill forms and soft-sign them in one clean swoop. Works with interactive forms as well as flat ones(uses typewriter mode). Additionally, it allows you to free-hand scratch the document, to indicate to colleagues/subordinates what you wished removed. This should be handy for doctors and other technical people on the go.. a sort of digital pad right in the ubiquitous browser. Keep them features coming mozilla, I'm also loving their containerized tab add-on

It is way too convoluted anywhere else.
But it cannot print a web page. And the pdf viewer is a usability disaster.
