Plz add a way to change citations type, to IEEE etc Edit: Reduced a star. The pdf auto index doesn't work for books, it starts from last chapter, awfully similar to some sort of regex with pdf end anchor and greedy operators. Regardless of implementation, it's bothering me enough, to file an edit here.

Thanks A lot for adding highlight option. I was about to shift to another extension.

This is a great extension overall, but it would be even better with a couple of additional features: Zoom support – It’s currently not possible to enlarge the text, which would really help with readability. Partial text copy – Right now, you can only copy all the text at once. It would be much more convenient to be able to copy selected portions instead.

Rất hữu ích trong thời buổi quá nhiều thông tin, việc tóm tắt giúp theo dõi và nắm bắt nội dung nhanh hơn.

The extension is overall great, but I'm only giving two stars since I want to have the option to keep the AI outline bar closed by default. Once the feature is added I'll raise my score.
