I know the best solution is to use a program to read that supports pop-ups.
Ooops, I meant to say, in my index rant, that vis: Fiverrs--to be fair, there are, boggling, the Real Deal there. There are editors, betas, etc. that do and have worked in the NYC Publishing biz; they have the street cred and they are fantastic. Those folks, sadly, are 99% never who I see used, by my customers. (I did buy a topflight beta read for one of my friends, though and wow, it's made a huge diff in her writing!).

So, not all Fiverrs are awful, and I oughtn't to have lumped them all in together. However, 99% of people go to Fiverr to save money. Nothing wrong with saving money, but when a "developmental edit" done in Chennai, India, is 1/10th the price of a proofread done in Boise Idaho, then you should expect that not everything is as it appears.
