    Réponse intéressante, mais je n’ouvre jamais PDF avec Edge, je préfère Adobe, plus convivial

    I can confirm that using edge, the file debug.log will be created if pdf files are opened or dowloaded using this browser, but i am not user, if it is just enougth opening one pdf to create the debug.log or more than one,

    and sometimes the browser stop working or there are any reactions and probably it is when the file is produced.

    Does anybody knows, if this problem is not so dangerous?

    Sure it must be fixed because is an error or bug, but it is not necesary to stop using the browser, right?

    or there are known security issues?

    Yeah, I think I've been getting the debug file ever since I started opening pdfs with Edge.
