On macOS, the PDF reader Preview.app runs sandboxed by default.

The Preview.app sandbox is not quite as secure as what is used by browsers such as Firefox or Chrome on macOS for web content, so there is probably still a benefit to viewing PDFs in the browser, depending on whether the browser or PDF viewer is more hardened against these attacks.
