Chrome should not ever read binary files from the local drive. You really
think you can get it do do that with PSE files? Check your net logging and
see if that's really what it is doing. As for the PDB files, there is a
slight of hand there -- if Jmol detects that it cannot read a binary file,
as should be the case with Chrome locally, then in the case that these are
"xxxx.pdb.gz" Jmol automatically lops off the ".gz" and tries to read
"xxxx.pdb". I'm sure that's what is happening here.
