On Windows when using Firefox default behaviour launches Edge as PDF viewer. Now I have two resource hungry browsers open. I only have 8G Ram and if I also have Eclipse open then opening a PDF slows my whole computer down. I now download PDFs and use Sumatra to open them. I can continue working.

HN is an interesting place. I often got the feeling that everyone here was working on the latest maxed out MB Pro but your comment made me realize I'm not the only one working with limited resources.

I use a late 2007 plastic MacBook with 4GB of RAM. Works quite well ;) (thanks Linux Mint)

I use 4GB of RAM as well, with Puppy Linux loaded entirely into it (hard drives only mount the same way as usb drives), in a refurbished desktop.
