AbstractAnywhere: Read Research Paper Abstracts On Webpages
AbstractAnywhere is a free Chrome extension developed by Kannan Kumar. It falls under the category of Browsers and the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension allows users to conveniently read the abstracts of research papers directly on the webpage.
With AbstractAnywhere, users can preview the abstracts of linked research papers without the need to open multiple tabs. This greatly simplifies the reading experience for research articles on the web. Instead of navigating away from the current webpage to read the abstract, users can simply view it right on the website linking the paper.
This extension seamlessly works on various platforms including independent blogs, websites, and popular platforms like Distill, Medium, Arxiv-Vanity, and MadeWithML. AbstractAnywhere respects user privacy and does not scan webpages without permission. To display abstracts on the webpage, users can click on the extension and select "Fetch Arxiv Abstracts". All Arxiv abstracts on the page will be highlighted in yellow, and hovering over any of these links will display the corresponding abstract.
