It also have comments pane which takes half of the screen (with non working X button) and hijacks back button (firefox on android).

It is really that hard to just serve PDF instead of stupid javascript filled browsers.

Well, the entire point of the site is a collaboratively annotated journal article. You may not think that's interesting, or that it's feasibly implementable with current tools, but I think the folks do a pretty good job with their stated goal. So I think this is something to be left up to the HN voting.
