This is already better than the default PDF reader. Please edit the tab title to be the document's title instead of the file path!

The functionality for looking up references is amazing. Just click on the number in the text, a tooltip opens with the Google Scholar links. Extremely fast and convenient. If it is a multiple reference, you get access to each of them with arrows to see the next. Really really well thought-out. Missing two stars because it needs the ability to highlight, and annotate!! And then it will become my default PDF reader for papers.

Nice PDF viewer for academics, but the preview for references quickly runs into a quota problem in Google Scholar. After opening a few previews, Google Scholar thinks I'm a robot and I have to solve a captcha first.

It is great only for seeing citations, that is all. With the current form, this extension cannot substitute any PDF reader. Please add annotation features, page layout and back and forward so that once we click a citation\note we can come back where we left in the document.

It would be great to have a double-page view option.
