文献应用很牛逼,希望能集成翻译功能就更好了,最好有个一键获取bibtex的功能,google scholar每次拉取bibtex都要在新的页面生成

Al buscar no recuerda texto ingresado, como si lo hace crhome, pensé que brindaria mas opciones como conservar historial de busqueda o busqueda automatizada🙄

The download button is broken (cannot download any PDF!), this is a critical bug reported weeks ago and nothing has changed... The standard built-in browser PDF viewer downloads fine. EDIT: first review in August 2025, now April 2025 and download button is STILL broken, you must switch to standard chrome PDF view to download!!!

great tool, quick linking to google scholar and viewing abstracts from the pdf is super useful. However, the ability to highlight and annotate is severely missing. Until then the pros and cons are in balance.
