If you’d like to save time and conveniently view various types of files like PDFs, images, and text documents directly in the browser, eliminating the need for multiple separate applications, here’s how to use Google Chrome as simple, all-purpose, drag and drop file viewer: 

- Open a new tab in Chrome.  

- Drag and drop a document or image file into the tab. 

- Chrome will display the file, allowing you to view PDFs, images, text files, and even some video and audio files without needing a separate application.
