Desde que instalé el plugin terminé mi tesis, encontré trabajo, encontré novia, saqué a mi familia adelante y ahora soy uno de los candidatos a terraformar marte. Igual no funciona en algunos PDF.

A very good PDF reader extension, especially when reading papers. I suggest adding a functionality, i.e., translating the selected text.

extension *really* useful in research after a long time! (possibly after Google Scholar Button) AI outline may come in handy at some point (my mind's jury is out on that), but... key strengths for me: * click on a reference (e.g., number or FirstAuthor Year) and it brings up the full detail (title, authors, year, google scholar link) without going to ref section * click on figure reference, brings you to figure. click back button, brings you back * night mode (also relevant beside just reading if you make your presentations in black background - you can snip the figures in dark mode and paste into your presentation, which looks more professional than pasting a white-background figure)

Muy recomendada. Genera resúmenes del texto, permite buscar los trabajos citados a medida que aparecen en el texto, y genera las referencias en APA y otros formatos. Si tuviera una función para destacar y hacer notaciones en el texto sería perfecta para mí.

It's a wonderful idea and a time saver. However, the addition of a highlighter function would be great. Currently, it is easy to lose the page/paragraph you want to cite for later.
