Foxit is now a bloated version of its former, lightweight and quick program - 160Mb in size
Which is currently the best free PDF reader for Windows 10 ?

    I don't have Edge from choice
    I am after a standalone pdf reader

    I generally use Edge these days, but, I've had Sumatra  on my PC's for years and it's always done everything I need.

    Works fine (as you'd expect) but it's a bit shouty and pushy about their not free stuff.

    I use Sumatra too.
    It opens cbr and epub too.
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    I tried SODA PDF and now am unable to uninstall the program
    It does not appear in my program list (control panel or settings)
    How do I get rid of this insideous program ?

    It doesn't get particularly good reviews. Have you tried the uninstall processes at
