Whenever I can, I try to disable the PDF reader in a browser since I 
would prefer that external programs take care of the task. As you 
mentioned, you always risk the built-in ones being too simple and 
therefore not working as they should. Heck, the Brave PDF viewer didn't 
load a PDF of my pay stub properly whereas SumatraPDF had no issue with it.

As for putting PDFs together, I barely use the format so I don't really 
need one but it's no surprise to me that Windows has great free 
utilities for the task.

pdftk is a GPL CLI program that's been on Linux for years.

Try MusicBee as an alternative to Media Monkey.
It works very well and is free.

Thanks for the heads up but I paid for MediaMonkey so I don't really 
need an alternative.

So did I but I find MM to be buggy. I get more than a few "not responding"
messages also sometimes changes to the UI or otherwise don't stick and it
goes back to defaults.
I have a huge collection of terabytes of media over multiple drives on a
network server so that may be aggravating it.
No problems with Musicbee at all.

I can't deny that MediaMonkey does sometimes become unresponsive, but I 
have yet to see it lose all of my settings. It did a great job of 
ripping my CDs either way and I find its interface intuitive but if ever 
it fails me, MusicBee will be worth checking out.

Taking effort potentially getting informed isn't a waste. Asserting you know more than everyone else and trying to persuade others that it is true, as Steven 'Super Troll' Petruzzellis tries to do? That is a waste ;) The cult-like herd of convenient friends value the LCD in all things. 

Tizen, runs on the macOS kernel. So yeah, macOS is mobile. macOS is a super computer. macOS is a server. macOS is a desktop. macOS is growing in market share. 

Unlike the intelligent people in this group, Steven 'Super Troll' Petruzzellis relies on right wing media to concoct beliefs on politics. Hence, he only is familiar with and speaks of the sanctioned stories which also are the ones which characterize Democrats in an absurdly auspicious and educated view.

I should mention that MusicBee doesn't allow you to rip CDs to MP3 and 
AAC by default whereas MediaMonkey allows MP3 within the installation. 
However, its FAQ clearly tells you how to gain support for both and it 
doesn't require an additional purchase unlike MediaMonkey. I guess I 
know what I'll be recommending that people use from this point forward.

Also, Sumatra loads in one second a large .pdf that takes five seconds
to load in Opera.

Occasionally on univ course websites I come across lecture notes 
(usually one lecture per .pdf).  Instead of having 18 .pdfs in a 
directory, I combine them into one file.

It was developed by a Pole and I can't help but notice that my fellow 
countrymen produce some very clean open-source code.

Ah, makes sense. Of course, I haven't studied in a formal university 
since 2003 and haven't had a university class since 2011 so this is not 
really required for me.

I even liked the minimal install process: one option button, one install

I haven't been in a univ course/classroom since mid-1990, but I like to 
read - or try to read - textbooks on various STEM subjects.

It should be noted that Poles and Russians tend to despise one another, 
probably because of how often the Russians attacked and killed Poles in 
their history. I imagine that much of it is no longer an issue since 
Russians have embraced their Christianity and tend to have a much more 
conservative society now.

I guess I'm not curious enough to do such a thing since I'm no longer in 
the field. Mine requires common sense rather than a continued pursuit of 
knowledge.

Ha, ha! When I got here, I wanted to be trusting and impartial. I gave Sigmond more than a reasonable person should. If you have 'myFile.txt' open in a word processor such as LibreOffice Writer and you want to change its name to 'windows.txt' via a bash script, Klaus Schadenfreude's video might be useful.

Larry Washington can't get anything else to work, either. 

So why the added task to edit the DOM via an automated phone system in a server system? Predictably, Larry Washington didn't define this as part of his, what would undoubtedly be, continually changing 'requirements' <shrug>. 

Honestly, those of you who troll are not able to manage KDE anymore. Think about it, who knows PHP, is an IT "master", has hacked God's account, has passion for this shit and is a huge immature man-child who, when he is called out, posts endless nonsense even when he's not flooding... AND... who endeavors to pin everything he is doing on "anyone he can" and has for his whole life? 

God and I will rope-a-dope a chicken with my thoughts. You haven't been around to fully figure out the depths of the guy's insanity.

History[edit]
The first version of Sumatra PDF, designated version 0.1, was based on
Xpdf 0.2 and was released on 1 June 2006. It switched to Poppler from
version 0.2. In version 0.4, it changed to MuPDF for more speed[3] and
better support for the Windows platform. Poppler remained as alternative
engine for a time, and from version 0.6 to 0.8 it was automatically
used to render pages that MuPDF failed to load. Poppler was removed in
version 0.9, released on 10 August 2008.

In July 2009, Sumatra PDF changed its license from GNU GPLv2 to GNU
GPLv3 to match the same license change on MuPDF.[25]

In that case, the code is essentially someone else's.

I never said I didn't like the standard PDF readers in Linux and I guess 
I can see why I like SumatraPDF so much.

Which xpdf is that?

Xpdf used to be based on a PDF engine that was produced
by foolabs, but now, with version 4.00.01, it is based
on the Qt XpdfWidget toolkit:
