Thumbnail Preview on the left site is missing

[FurkanEkiz]

Hello,

in the Internet Explorer, if you open a pdf with the adobe addon you could open a thumbnail preview on the left site of the screen with the button f4 or with your mouse. But with Chrome, there is no thumbnail preview option and f4 does nothing. 

Is this feature not supported anymore?

Thanks

May be that the PDF viewer of Chrome doesn't support this feature.

Ok but can you confirm that this is chrome's fault and not adobe's fault?

Im asking because this extension has the thumbnail preview feature

The PDF viewer of Chrome doesn't use Adobe software. So it can not a fault of Adobe.

So there is no Adobe addon to view PDF's in the browser like in the old times for the Internet Explorer?

I just read that the new Browsers dont support the adobe plugin/addon

It isn't that there is no browser add on for PDF viewing in Chrome - it's that Google made one of their own, and blocked using any other one. So Adobe could (and maybe still does) offer a plug-in, Google will ignore it. Once IE is phased out there will be no mainstream browsers that use Acrobat Reader any more.
