IIRC, pdfjs is used by Google also, and was based on Foxit? ? Does anyone know?

PDF.js came out of Mozilla, not Foxit.

Yes, but I think Mozilla may have started with code from Foxit.

The PDFium plugin that was part of Chrome was based on C++ code from Foxit.

PDFjs was written in JS from day one, and (as far as I know) was not based on any previous PDF reader.
