Many PDF files fail to display properly

See original GitHub issue

Here is an example:

https://www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/plan-information/plan-codes/2018/brochures/73-828.pdf

In the above and other PDFs, no text displays, though images do display.

Below are some of the errors from the browser console:

I’m experiencing the same issues on Vivaldi. Is there any workaround?

In Vivaldi, PDFs either: crash the browser, or don’t show up at all (this tends to be the outcome when turning off Surfingkey’s own pdf.js with 😒), or don’t show up at all with an additional error: https://imgur.com/a/L2EkKfq
