Needs a way to export the pdf with highlights and notes, so that they can be shared with other people. Aside from that, the extension is great.

All features are good , but without a dedicated shortcut for highlighting texts, the workflow becomes lengthy.

Très très bonne extension, Merci! Je souhaiterais cependant que vous travailliez sur la possibilité de l'intégrer sur Word, comme un onglet afin que l'on puisse directement citer sur word à partir de cette extension. Merci!

Vivaldiでは動きませんでしたので評価3とさせていただきます。Chromeで動作を確認しました。 英語での要約のほか、日本語などに翻訳しての要約が表示されると便利ですね。

Program's very useful, but the only downside is wheel button clicking + cursor drag doesn't work like any other sites.

Very helpful plugin. but seems to be not working for me anymore. Any reason why? Is it just me or is it down for everyone?
