As long as I'm talking about software from small, independent developers, lets take a look at Schubert-It's PDF Browser Plugin.
I've been using PDF Browser Plugin for years. It is a simple, clever plugin for Apple's Safari browser (it will actually support any browser that uses Apple's plugin framework) that uses the operating system's PDF rendering framework to display PDFs. Just like Adobe's plugin, but far less obtrusive.
It has always been an excellent product, doing its thing with no fuss at all. And it was free. At one point, I sent mail to the author, Manfred Schubert, to see if he was taking donations for PDF Browser Plugin.
Recently, Manfred released version 2 of the plugin, greatly improved, still free for private use. I wish he'd set up a PayPal link, or something.
