Safari - can't view or download PDF

[MisterX88]

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with Safari and PDFs. Just recently and I'm not sure what triggered it, I can no longer view and download PDFs in Safari. However, when I go into Private Browsing mode, it works just fine. It also works fine in Chrome and using the Safari Technology Preview.

I've looked through all of the settings in Safari on the computer where I'm having this issue vs another computer where it works as it should and I can't see any difference.

Any ideas on how to fix other than reinstalling macOS Sonoma? I wish I could reinstall Safari standalone to see if it fixes it, but cannot seem to find it.

If you installed any Safari extensions recently, uninstall and see if that solves the problem.

Thanks! I only had one extension which was for Rakuten. I thought it was seemingly unrelated but after uninstalling it, everything is back to normal
