Kseniia Abu Diiak, 2023-04-13This is an awesome extension. One thing that could be added is a "document doesn't exist" error message. I've noticed that when an article isn't available on Sci-Hub (verified by website), the extension doesn't provide an error message. Instead, nothing happens and you are left to wonder what went wrong.
