    I’ve been using Foxit Reader for so long since Adobe’s PDF reader was a big bloatware of sorts.

    I think Adobe should come forward and launch a lightweight version of Adobe Reader themselves. They don’t seem to be listening to users’ feedback.

    Adobe Reader Bloatware is no longer on my computer, and this lite version doesn’t look that lite. So I still use Foxit Reader.
