This is good overall but there are some weird bugs with zooming in and out. I.e. sometimes it won't allow you to zoom in or the speed of zoom in/out is way too fast.

Great tool! Not having to go up and down for references is awesome! I think a great addition to this is to add a dedicated button for copying Bibtex without having to go to a different tab to copy it manually. A one-click-to-clipboard solution would be much appreciated. This improvement could be applied to Google Scholar extension as well. Thanks!

The ability to see references within the PDF is amazing! I can see the number of citations that a paper has, create bibtex citations for it, read their abstract, all without leaving the PDF. One major suggestion though: please have the ability to highlight them. A simple prompt like "We have created an offline copy for this PDF with your highlights" and ask us to save it. That'd be awesome!

There's a problem with the display of sections in the left side bar of the article, where a subsection may be displayed as a section and the section after it displayed as a subsection.

If there is a buttom to show the whole abstract in the look-up citing, that will be very useful!
