It is called "Client Side Decoration", and I hate it, too.

I use the Mint document viewer, XViewer, on openSUSE and Ubuntu.

https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/11/install-pix-xed-xplayer-xreader-xviewer-ubuntu-20-04/

However, for my work, I frequently need PDF annotations. Xviewer
cannot handle these.

So then I use Okular. It's a big clunky KDE app but it does handle
annotations well -- I have not found any other Linux PDF viewer since
the ancient Adobe Reader that can do this.
