Great tool to improve article reading, the ability to check references immediately is amazing. A few things could be improved though. PDF annotation with highlighting and comments is a must. The resolution of the PDF seems to be a little off with the text being out of focus.

i love this extension and its useful since i am a researcher it would be great if you provide this extension as a desktop app, because it will also work offline for the documents which are stored in computer.
