Because most content is from untrusted sources? ;)

Anyway, on my Windows computer I uninstalled it last week and installed Foxit. Too bad so many Websites still need Flash.




Damn... So either I stick with an even less common reader or I go back to Acrobat, they are able to fix faster. On the other hand I didn't install the Foxit Reader Plugin. I got the habit to not install PDF Reader plugins because they make browser freeze and crash even without vulnerabilities...


If you're just reading, use Chrome's built in PDF reader or PDFjs for Firefox [1]

I like Foxit too, but people should be aware that you have to opt-out of some shitty crap-ware toolbar during installation.


Times change, IIRC Chrome suffers the same problem.
