Firefox has a PDF reader built in these days.
It is pretty terrible though.
In what way? It works quite alright for me.
Bad rendering at times, jankiness during scrolling, etc.
Yeah no idea why but on Android its bad, on Linux just fine
Nah it's crap on Linux too. Maybe not quite as bad. On Linux I generally use atril or xpdf these days.
Firefox on Linux (binary, Fedora, Flathub, compiled) is very good for PDF reading
I use Firefox on Linux and its pdf reader sort of works but it is really bad compared to a dedicated reader, e.g. when you want to scroll quickly or zoom the magnfication around. Try downloading a pdf book from archive.org and reading it with Firefox. I'm using the LTE version from Debian so maybe that isn't as good as some of the other builds though, hmm.
It's ๐ but barebones. No dark mode and support for native and user-created bookmarks.
