O design é funcional, cumpre ao que se dispõe basicamente, mas quanto a leitura em voz alta, julgo ser complicado. Pelo que consegui, é necessário selecionar o texto para ter acesso a função de leitura em voz alta, o que atrapalha ao invés de ajudar.

This is a great extension! It would be even better if you added a highlighting feature—right now, other highlight extensions don’t seem to work with it.

The citation part of the tool is very useful, but no double view is an absolute dealbreaker

Hope there will be bionic reading support for ADHDers in the future.

Absolutely fantastic extension, that's so much better than the native Chrome PDF viewer for all PDFs. For academic papers, it's a game-changer. Can't recommend highly enough.

Offers faster file-opening speeds, a smooth reading experience, and convenient access to in-text cited articles. However, adding highlighting and annotation functions would make this plugin perfect. --------- The new highlighting and annotation features complete this extension nicely. It now deserves a full five stars.

Excellent, especially for the references! It just miss the basic double page view option to gain its fifth star! Shouldn't be difficult to add it I hope.
