OSs have this annoying habit of condensing multiple windows of a single application down to one taskbar item/dock item/whatever.

On Windows this can easily be remedied in the options accessible via the taskbar. I always turn this off and tell it to show the full window titles instead of just the icons. Windows are not browser tabs, I don't ever have enough of them open to need that stacking behaviour.

Another option for Chrome/Windows is to open a Guest window or an Incognito window, which is treated as a separate window-group.

Too late to edit: I see now that only a Guest window gets its own window-group. Incognito windows do not.

What is the difference between having multiple pdf reader windows vs multiple browser windows then? If you are on a mac: cmd+` is your friend.
