How to stop this chrome browser message?

There IS a way to stop Chrome (or Chromium) from showing this annoying 
prompt. You have to exit browser, locate Preferences file of your Chrome 
profile (~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences in Linux), find 
'download' section that looks like:

"download": {
   "directory_upgrade": true,
   "extensions_to_open": "",
   "prompt_for_download": false
},

and change "extensions_to_open": "", to "extensions_to_open": "pdf", and 
you won't see that prompt any more :) If there are already other 
extensions, use a colon to separate pdf from the existing entries (i.e. 
"foo:bar:pdf"). Then save the configuration file.

I was curious myself, those are annoying.
