Probably only by pretending to. PDF plugins for Browsers DO NOT read online like a web page is read. It's actually temporarily downloaded.
Really only actual web pages are online. Google Books previews are generating web pages as is the Amazon "look inside".
I don't know how the earlier version of Edge that did epubs worked. It likely tried to load the entire ebook into RAM. Sometimes feasible for PDFs. Anyway that's gone. Edge is now a skin on the Chromium Engine which while in theory open source is really controlled by Google for Chrome.
