en Great for research! If I could highlight, add notes and save easily on my local files, I would totally ditch my local pdf drivers for this.

en This is by far the best PDF reader around, not just the best browser PDF reader. No other free PDF reading app offers a night mode implementation as good as this one and and the citation lookup works like a charm. Really like the newly introduced AI outlines feature as well.
