Almost perfect, but really should be able to highlight & annotate if it's to be considered useful

读paper需要高亮、划线、写注释,这是刚需。这个只适合文献检索。阅读不行。

Overall, awesome features through built-in hyperlinks. 1. Please add in an annotation feature + save 2. Please give the user the option to open certain pdf documents with the default browser pdf reader Thanks for the awesome tool!

Could and should be an upgrade from the native Chrome PDF viewer. Keyword "should". But not quite. The native PDF viewer has "two-page view" which is very helpful and useful, this one for some reasons doesn't. I wonder how hard it really is to just "copy" or bring in that functionality into this extension.

Font rendering is much worse than in the standard Chrome PDF Viewer. Too bad... the features are really great, but with the slightly pixelated text (especially on small zoom levels compared to the Chrome PDF Viewer) it strains my eyes too much in the long run.
