Djvu Reader For Mac Free
If you have installed the Firefox browser, you can use its extension to read DjVu files. Open Firefox and go to (DjVu.js Viewer - Add-ons for Firefox) Click “Add to Firefox” to install the extension. DjVu Viewer Extension for Google Chrome This is the first “beta” release of Chrome Extension version of DjVu Viewer. Although it lacks of many features supported by the previous NPAPI based DjVu plugin, we release the extension because of Chrome’s removing support of NPAPI based plugin.
I am looking for a fast, convenient and reliable DjVu reader application for OS X.
Requirements:
- responsive continuous scrolling
- must be standalone (not browser plugin)
- retina support
I.e. something that could replace Preview for DjVu files.
Gratis software preferred but not required. I do not want to spend money on anything until I am certain that it works well (I've already had a bad experience with one I bought and turned out to be useless).
I am still looking for answers. DjView now has retina support and better responsiveness than before (only with Qt5 builds), but it still lags behind other viewers in page rendering and scrolling performance.

Best Djvu Reader
Of all (scarce) DJVU viewing software for OSX i so far find DJView the most feature rich among gratis software.
- responsive continuous scrolling - Check
- must be standalone (not browser plugin) - Check
- retina support - No check
Other functions that I find very useful:
- searching for text string if the text layer is present and copy text string into other applications
- side by side page view
- invert luminance (white text on black background)
2016 update: There are now Qt5-based builds of DjView. These are much more responsive than the Qt4-based builds and have retina support. As of June 2016, the Sourceforge build is Qt5-based. With MacPorts, be sure to install djview-qt5 and not djview.
