Is Google Scholar PDF Reader safe?
This extension replaces Chrome’s PDF view with a Google Scholar reader for papers and articles.
It gives PDFs on all sites a new reading interface with reference previews, an AI outline, figure previews, citation copying, and light, dark, and night modes. It also lets you highlight and comment on PDFs, with highlights saved to your Scholar library, and save articles there for later.
