Pretty good extension! Could you consider adding a commenting feature? Additionally, when navigating away by clicking on an image or reference, it would be helpful to have a "back" function that returns the user to their previous reading position. This would greatly improve usability. Thank you!

Es, sin lugar a dudas, el lector de PDF definitivo si eres estudiante, profesor o investigador. Es rápido, cómodo y su integración de IA para manejar las citas y hacer resumenes es simplemente inigualable.

As an independent scholar without institutional access, I rely heavily on tools that streamline the process of discovering, organizing, and reading academic content. The Google Scholar PDF Reader stands out as a practical extension that enhances research efficiency by integrating PDF access directly within the Google Scholar ecosystem.
