Any Browser with built-in pdf reader

I am searching for an android browser that has the capability to load a pdf link within the browser itself, just like you can do it on a desktop computer using windows 7. Somehow I have not been able to find any. \

The pdf is downloaded to sdcard and then it has to be opened externally. This appears to be an inconvenience. I have tried so many android browsers but none have that feature.

Android firefox has a pdf addon but the display was horrible with the js plugin. It was nowhere in quality as it is when its downloaded to sd card. Iphone's safari browser opens pdf sites within the browser.

Windows phone has Internet Explorer and I am not sure if that can open pdf in browser. I spend lots of time viewing pdf files when online and downloading repeatedly is quite a pain. I am considering switching to iphone only because of this, but I love android in general. It is an awesome OS, however the pdf file is the only problem.

I have searched a lot on google play apps but can't find such browser. Even if such browser isn't free, I wouldn't mind paying. I have kaspersky mobile security and my LG device is rooted.
 
You could try Dolphin HD since it supports add-ons there could be an add-on for a PDF reader...

Otherwise moving this thread to the Android Applications forum! :)
 
I have dolphin and there is no such feature. It used to have this feature in the past but for some mysterious reason its not available anymore. Can Google please develop this feature in its android operating system? Its not truly a smartphone if it can't load pdf on browser. Furthermore, I have researched and discovered that neither windows phone nor blackberry z10 has such feature. There must be a reason why this isn't a feature. Does it require too much effort for android to develop it? I wouldn't mind paying little extra to get such feature.
