★★★★★ ubergeer · 13 Jun 2026I read a lot of research papers, and this extension makes viewing PDFs much more convenient. Everything feels organized and easy to navigate, which helps when going through long academic articles. It has become a useful part of my research workflow.

How these figures are measured
Change in installs, as observed between the two crawls named in "measured over", not scaled to the window: this store refreshes its install counts only occasionally, so one refresh lands in every window at once and these figures usually read 0 in between - the weekly change in ratings under Rating above is the better signal here. A window needs a full period of history before it reports anything.
