Chrome doesn't allow opening data URLs for security reasons. You might be able to open the link using "Open in new tab" (right click menu).

As a work around, if possible, you can force the user to download the file using <a download="example.pdf" href= data:URL >

Or try using blob:URL instead of data:URL. This might help.
