      I think firefox pdf reader is one of the slowest pdf readers.😅

      On windows I switched to Okular and on android I use Librera (and sometimes the default stuff on my phone).

        Eh, my needs aren’t too elaborate on my phone. I only really care about lag while scrolling, which isn’t a problem in Firefox.

        Not needing to have another app installed, especially on my mum’s phone, is what I’m mostly excited by.
