Would be great if reader mode also provided that works like Amazon Kindle to see PDF in PiP small windows that stays intact and accessible in corner of the screen to refer the context while working.

This is great, but please allow to view two pages side by side (like chromium already does!)

Nice, and the references part works beautifully, BUT: - Highlights and comments cannot be saved and exported on the PDF. - Zoom in/out is such a pain. Whenever I scroll, and move to the next tab, the control-tab plus the scroll inertia zoom to the minimal or maximal view. Very very annoying.

The PDF viewer is slick and fast. The highlighting function also works much more smoothly than in Acrobat and other software. *However*, there seems to be no way to easily export and share annotations (highlights and comments) with others (as they are only stored on the Google Scholar library). That's a major drawback.

I've used this for over a year now across several devices, and I've always been pleased with it. Great extension! Nevertheless, I think allowing the comment feature to use markdown, or at least, support native (inline) equation rendering would be very helpful. Especially when reading "math heavy" documents. Thanks!

I should be able to download the annotations to share or to read on another device (tablet). As it is, those annotations stay on the web addon and are thus not useful. If possible, I should have the option to embed them on the PDF.
