Browsers are painfully slow at rendering PDF. Open them with your local reader.

Really? I found Chrome being much faster than Adobe Acrobat.

Either way, the speed of rendering never bothered me.

SumatraPDF on Windows is lightning fast with the kind of PDFs you get from the arXiv (true PDFs without heavy graphics). I don't know what is fast on Linux, but probably some MuPDF-based viewers are (the MuPDF PoC viewer is fast even on WSL).

zathura is superfast on Linux, can handle thousands of pages, and may be used under either MuPDF or poppler.
