Nicely done. The sidebar is also very sleek. Night mode for the PDF is good! Feedback/Suggestions: (1) Google Scholar does not give DOI and often abbreviates more than 6-7 authors as "and others" in their downloadable BibTeX. It will be very useful if full info can be given in the BibTeX entry on a best-effort basis, at least from sources which provided it (like IEEE, Elsevier, etc). (2) While the add-on works with in-text citations, the References list at the end of the pdf do not have the google scholar popup! Would be useful for quickly scrolling through the references and abstracts.

Kindly add the Text Highlight option. To be able to highlight text is super important.

This is great! Need to be able to highlight and annotate research papers while reading though.

Works great. Just seems to be missing the ability to highlight text.

This extension is truly fantastic! It streamlines tasks, saving you considerable time and effort while simplifying the process of reading a research papers. However, there is room for improvement as it currently lacks the option to highlight text in PDFs. Since highlighting is a common practice during research paper reading, many users may still find themselves resorting to Adobe PDF Reader for this functionality. Dr Ambrish Singh

Great and very easy to use, makes navigating research papers much easier. Would love for it to have editorial options like highlighting text and adding comments like Microsoft Edge does

Great extension! A great update to the old-fashioned Google Scholar :-) I love the integration of citation support, which significantly helps me navigate through papers. The dark mode and night mode are fabulous for programming lovers! If highlighting and comments are added to the functions it will be even nicer! Besides, the link can sometimes have incorrect offsets.
