Foxit is great, so much faster than Adobe garbage.

Huge +1!
Adobe...*shudder*...a prime example of bloatware that's lost sight of its primary purpose, to be a simple PDF reader. I consider it what I call tentacleware: too many fingers in the OS and folders all over the place.
Foxit is still awesome to this day
