Hi David,
Have you tried xpdf?

Thanks for your testing!
I think we should have a community vote for this, I use FF mainly, but I
also use Qupzilla and I use chromium.  I agree Qupzilla is much faster
to load, and usually works, and has adblock by default, and is being
continually developed.  It keeps getting better.
