This is a really nice extension! It would be cooler if I can save the annotations in the local machine so that I can check them offline environments. Also a function to search the annotation would be great.

Sometimes it doesn't login. Also there is no offline synchronisation for the highlights, meaning you can't print the highlighted paper.

Great extension. I suggest to implement sentence highlight read assistant. A highlight marker that select a phrase between end points to help to concentrate the read in that sentence. Furthermore, improve the google drive integration is necessary.

As another user said, wheel button clicking plus cursor dragging is bugged! (It makes the document move in the opposite direction for a little amount, then it works as in other webpages) Please solve this!

Honestly, the quick reference search function is very convenient. I wanna ask When will the note-taking function be modified to allow local synchronization?

Very nice PDF reader. A hot-key for highlighting selected text would be nice addition.

the highlighting and text selection has to be improved only 75% from the top of any word is being selected or highlighted the bottom part of the text is not getting highlighted which gives a bad look to the pdfs
