As much as I want to like this tool, it makes copying and pasting stuff from within papers useless. I'm trying to copy the titles of some papers and I cannot. Disabling it and trying copying the titles works fine again.

Great, and I appreciate a uniform PDF experience in Chrome, however I would appreciate the ability to "save as" or change where PDFs were saved

This is a great tool. Could you please add support for Google Drive integration? It would be awesome to be able to open PDF files directly from Google Drive.

Everything is fantastic, but could you please add a 'two-page view' function? This would be my last request. Thanks!!

It needs a "right-click save as" to save a PDF, not HTML. I know it has a saving button, but saving individual PDF to a custom location is preferred without it interfering with regular downloads.

Great app, especially previewing references. Adding annotations support would give the fifth star! Other fancy nice-to-have features would be AI (gemini) search, summary or ability for Q&A within the pdf.
