    With online PDFs I use MS Edge and have enabled the Appcontainer renderer.

    For offline PDFs I use SumatraPDF portable to which I have blocked connections in the inbound/outbound firewall.
    I put Sumatra PDF portable in the LocalLow folder.
    Now the software has an Integrity Level low.

    I had already included SumatraPDF portable with 13 rules in the anti-exploit list.

    If any forum member uses an app from the Microsoft Store (level Appcontainer) I would like to know his feedback.

    On Android, I use Librera Pro (from F-Droid) on a tablet, and ReadEra, which works well on my cheap Android phone. The latter can be had from the Play Store or sideloaded from a trusted site. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.readera

    On Windows, the latest Sumatra has become a superb epub/mobi reader, replacing the bulky Calibre for me.

    You can always use the Secure PDF Reader by GrapheneOS:
