Instead of modifying the PDF file (which kind of is against the point of PDF files in the first place, the point is the file looks the same in all devices) we have a ruler which can automatically highlight the line being read. If the line is larger than the window, then we move horizontally so the next part of the line is shown. If the line is such that it is larger than the current window but is smaller than the next horizontal movement, a red notch is displayed in the ruler which marks the location of the line which will be moved to the leftmost side of the window.
I know I explained it poorly, here is a video which should clarify: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYUYMhvwN3U
> - There's an extension that lets you view PDFs in two columns (panels) side by side. But that literally changes the actual PDF files!
We have added native two-panel mode in development branch.
> - Plugins are generally challenging to install. I found a workaround and reported it, but IDK if the author took that feedback to improve the app.
In the development branch we have added support for native javascript extensions (with no external dependencies because we use Qt's internal js engine) which should be a lot easier to work with
> - To my knowledge, the app stores its configs in the Applications directory of the app. It'd be nicer to have them in ~/.config.
Also I think in the development branch you can use ~/.config, I am not 100% sure though.
It has a lot of niche features, but my favorite is the ability to preview or jump to references even when they are not linked in the PDF file.

Does anybody know why they chose fifth percentile? I though we should always choose the fastest time when measuring performance.
Whether this is a good or a bad thing I do not know.
