They also mentioned on the blog that PDF.js is available from Mozilla as an Extension for older browser versions. See [github.com ]

I'm switching back to Firefox from Chrome. Only because Chrome uses up far too much memory; a few windows up and my machine becomes a slug.

I tried PDF.js a while ago and it was very slow with large documents - and a lot of PDfs on the web are large.
I always read PDFs in an external reader so the problem with plugins never bothered me (and the readers I use have not had security issues either)

I usually just use the default for the OS/desktop I am using (usually Okular or Evince). I also use APV on Android.

Default ubuntu or mint for me except for a very few foxit accesses by my wife on windows.
NOTE: foxit has just issued an update because of an exploit hoel.

I've always liked foxit. They've been ahead of the curve on security. It is too bad that it's only available for windows.

I'm with you there. I still use Chrome as my primary browser, but its memory hungry ways was one of the main things that made me upgrade my main computer last year.
