Herb may have been referring to the fact that the Safari plugin for displaying PDFs via AR is installed and activated without asking. That has been my experience in the past.

As a side remark, for some of the tasks such as filling forms, annotating, adding deleting and reordering, and combining PDFs, while quite deficient in the past, I find Preview has improved a lot.
