You don't need the plugin to view the paper.
CatalyzeX appear to be just posting (or spamming depending on your point of view) interesting papers/videos to AI/ML subredits to publicise their chrome plugin (that "finds and shows implementation code for any... research papers").
The link to the paper is at the top of the post under "paper link" from that you can click through to the paper on arxiv.org
The reason its a browser extension is on the plugin page:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aiml-papers-with-code-eve/aikkeehnlfpamidigaffhfmgbkdeheil https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aiml-papers-with-c...
▶ Browse the web as usual and you'll start seeing [CODE] buttons next to papers everywhere.
