Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Android with cordova.InAppBrowser.open, a Google PDF result, and the loadstart listener shown in the report. Compare behavior with and without the Chrome update; done means identifying why PDF navigation differs and restoring the expected loadstart event, with the relevant platform and version details documented.
