On low end hardware though? My experience is that any browser based renderer (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) will choke in comparison to a native desktop program, e.g. SumatraPDF or Atril.
It's the first thing I disable.
so does Sumatra, and it uses a couple orders of magnitude less ram
I love Sumatra when I’m writing papers since it auto reloads PDFs without losing page context. However, I usually have chrome open anyways.
