Chrome + PDF "Couldn't load plugin"

In a non-trivial number of cases, esp. after I've had my browser open for a while, Chrome will fail to display a PDF document, showing the error "Couldn't load plugin."

I'm on OSX. I know the NPAPI and PPAPI issue is not relevant here. The Disable PDF Isolation flag these users describe has been removed.

Others suggest as workarounds changing the way you browse, either restarting Chrome more frequently and opening fewer tabs. I would prefer a solution.

The solution I ultimately came to was to use an alternative to that in-browser PDF viewer provided via an extension in the Chrome web store.
