I think this is the best pdf reader because of its simplicity and features but it would be better if there is highlighting feature in this

It's quite good but it needs to support more feature I need to open any pdf file using this extension, either it's locally stored on my pc or it comes from an online server, particularly google drive.

Bom, mas seria mais útil se permitisse marcar frases no texto e salvá-las para uso futuro como citação.

Very convenient academic pdf reader. The only and necessary point needs to be improved is the ability to mark, and put text annotation. So it won't be my primary pdf reader for now.

The night reading mode exists, which is good, but it is low contrast. The page is a glowing light gray, with somewhat lighter gray text. I find it hard to look at. The page needs to be black. Text should be white or a little off white.
