It is a great extension! Love it! If there is a feature to retrieve and show the teaser figure in the modal window, it would be *perfect*.

It's helpful when it's able to read and summarize the document - it can't do this for all PDFs. It would be even more helpful if the reader also came with even the most basic PDF reader capabilities like highlighting, bookmarking, commenting, etc. I find myself having to switch back and forth between this reader and native browser reader just to highlight a section.

Maybe if you read a lot of .pdfs IN GOOGLE SCHOLAR, otherwise it's completely useless. First of all, their instructions don't work. You have to uninstall whatever .pdf extension you're using, then specifically go to the settings for this and turn it on. Then, you'll find out that it only words on google scholar pdfs, which makes it virtually useless for virtually everyone.

Very useful. Needs highlighting capabilities and the ability to save the AI outlines. And make the AI outlines possible in all pdfs.
