Man kann nicht markieren (mit active Pens) oder texte hinzufügen (Tastatur). Außerdem finde ich keine Option, ne Reader NICHT zu benutzen, wenn er irgendwie installiert ist. Wird das behoben, gern 5 Sterne

A midiocre pdf reader. I throught with Google's technical strength, you would have made some revolutionary and innovative products, afterall, Google scholar has not had any major updates for nearly a decade, turning out that it is just a 'chrome PDF reader+'. You guys' work should not try to squeeze out the ecological niche with some small software like Zetero, but accelare the research through the AI technology. 一个平庸的PDF阅读器。 我以为以谷歌的技术实力应该做出一些革命性的创新的产品,毕竟scholar已经快十年没有过什么大的更新了,结果就只是一个升级版的pdf阅读器。 你们大厂跟一些zetero这样的小软件挤占生态位吃相有点过于难看了。

Add annotation, highlighting, option to remember last read position and hiding the sidebar by default (or atleast an option to do so) would make it a 5 star must have extension
