Reading this, I realized I need a browser-side PDF viewer that provides kindle-like features (bookmarks, current reading position, highlighting, ...) layered over a bare PDF file fetched from a server like this one. I'm guessing that thing exists somewhere?



No affiliation whatsoever but you could try using Hypothesis’ browser-based annotation tool to take PDF notes: https://web.hypothes.is/

They build on top of Mozilla’s PDF.js:
