2024-01-29 Goulart It works fine... But it's not my first choice. I prefer "Reedy". Because it's has more features and it's more configurable.

2023-06-16 Shade It would be nice to be able to trigger it with right-click, but otherwise, it's great!

2023-02-20 noetics It works very well! Note, if you want to use it to read locally downloaded PDFs, you can't just open them in firefox and use this extension. There is a work around, https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html. This link is the web version of that same PDF viewer, so the extension actually works. It defaults to some demo file, but if you to open your own file at this link, there is a button in the top right right corner near the end of the black tool bar. One feature that would be nice is if there was a way to trigger it either from the right click menu or a keyboard shortcut because having to mouse over to the tool bar every time is just the tiniest bit tedious on my laptop track-pad. Thanks for the great, free tool!
