Foxit reader is closed source and the mentioned ones on that site are not.

Addendum: Most links of the bottom row don't work anymore. Needs updates

That site is, in my opinion, hilariously bad for the non tech-user.

Top row:

Platform (what's that?): GNU (isn't that some kind of African animal?) Linux (oh, I know that one, it's the cute penguin!)

The rest of the text in those boxes is mostly techno-babble for non-tech users (Gnome? KDE? DjVu?!??)

I understand the intent behind it, but it would only serve a very small niche of users, who can already fend for themselves.

Everyone else would go like: PDF? Ah, that's Adobe!
