This is definitely a lovely plugin. Would be wonderful if highlighting can be integrated. Sometimes people would love to lablel things they feel important while reading.

Great, love that it has a truly night mode, but it's definitely missing the ability to store files in google drive and add/edit annotations. Going to keep using Zotero / Paperpile for now, but this will help for quick previews of papers when trying to discover more related work.

Really nice, especially the reference searching. Lowers the proverbial energy barrier considerably for reference tracing. Something I would love to see, however, is integration with google translate. Having a popup or even some sort of dynamic mode where you can highlight and it writes the translation over it would be uber helpful, rather than right clicking and going to another tab.
