Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

With this extension you will automatically see the arxiv pdf rendered as a (html5+mathJax) web-page, since it replaces arxiv links with ar5iv.

This behaviour can be toggled by clicking the extension, it either always loads the html version or the pdf version.

For more details of this FOSS extension see https://github.com/HannesGitH/arxiv--ar5iv#readme

AI product read

Automatically replace arXiv PDF links with ar5iv HTML-rendered versions in the browser.

arXiv PDFs are often difficult to read on web pages; ar5iv provides a responsive HTML5+MathJax version that is easier to read and navigate.

1. User installs extension. 2. When visiting an arXiv PDF link, the extension automatically redirects to the ar5iv HTML version. 3. User can click the extension icon to toggle between always showing PDFs or always showing HTML versions. 4. Preference is saved locally.

Target users: Researchers / Academics / Students / Anyone reading arXiv papers in a browser

Analysis is based on static source code and store metadata. Runtime behavior (e.g., ar5iv.org service availability) is not tested. The extension relies on an external third-party service (ar5iv.org) which may have its own terms or availability issues.

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is explicitly described as FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) in the store description and README. It contains no billing, subscription, or upgrade logic. The keyword 'pro' found in _metadata/verified_contents.json is part of Chrome's internal verification metadata, not a paid feature.

Confidence: 100
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension is a local URL-rewriting tool using declarativeNetRequest. It requires no account, no login UI, and no authentication tokens. The destination services (arxiv.org and ar5iv.org) are publicly accessible without login.
