Looking for an alternative to the adobe reader that doesnt suck

Helping is good!

from Elemental Forums

I am looking for an alternative to using the adobe reader. I have looked around a little for something to take its place and still function well but haven’t found anything that I feel does the job.
 
Ideally the program would have these qualities.  
- Small footprint - an app as small as I can find that will open PDF files.
- Browser integration - currently I am using the adobe reader and open all PDF files (online and offline) with Firefox.
- F-word - FREE!
- Just be a simple reader and not a pain in the ass

So if anyone can suggest a good app to try it would be appreciated.

Sumatra PDF is a great program. Starts up quick and is easy to use.

From what I have read here Foxit is a pain to remove.
