A good, privacy respecting and FOSS PDF viewer for Android? (sopuli.xyz)

Currently, I'm just using the default 'Drive PDF Viewer' on my Android devices, would love to switch to something FOSS and non-google. Any good recommendations?

If it's available on F-Droid, that would be preferable.

I am using Librera Reader. Make sure to install the F-Droid version (Librera FD) without Google Play services.

It is primarily an ebook reader that supports a variety of formats, but it is also an excellent PDF viewer. Significantly more feature-rich than any other FOSS PDF viewer for Android that I have found.

MuPDF Viewer works fine for me. Not very feature rich tho.

MuPDF comes by default on CalyxOS, and is what I use.

I use MuPDF but there is also the GrapheneOS PDF viewer available on their GitHub

You can install it using Obtainium or jus grab it from the GitHub page.

KOreader is great, but use muPDF if you don't want to learn
