Made by the authors of Ghostscript & mutool
They know PDF internals, accuracy is more ensured. The app is thin on features, so it's the go-to preview for any PDF newly downloaded.

Fast
Although mainly Mega is a Cloud service but its PDF reader is extremely fast compared to other PDF readers. The only thing is it reduces image quality but it's not much so you wouldn't really care. It's really fast at loading pages on PDF file up to 50-80MB.

Crashes on big files
If the file size gets a bit bigger than it's supposed to be, like about 100MB, then it might crash or take a bit long to load.

3Dot's Experience
Surprisingly I've been using Mega PDF viewer more than Adobe acrobat, but if the size of the file gets a bit higher than usual(around 100) then I would switch to Adobe.

Client-side encryption
All files uploaded to Mega are first encrypted on the users side. To access files a decryption key must be supplied. For ease of use, the decryption key can be appended to the URL you share.

Easy to use
Just drag and drop files in the browser window, then create a link for sharing. You will need an account to create a link. To streamline the process for new users you can start uploading as soon as you access the website and create an account while it's uploading.
