Sumatra PDF is pretty good (assuming you're on Windows).

If you actually read more than few pages, a decent UI and some features (eg. bookmars and notes) are really useful.

I'm fine with zathura + mupdf, but i can't take notes with that.

I'd rather not have ads like in Foxit, or a slow turd with a shitty UI like in Adobe Reader.

Sumatra and excel are the only things I miss from using Windows.

So far I have not found another program to read pdf and ebooks which is as good as Sumatra
