Very well done. I've been using it for about 10 minutes now and haven't encountered a bug, which is more than I can say for most of my own code. It's such a simple thing but it streamlines the research process so much. | |

This extension probably saves me about a day each year in time looking for articles in my university's library website. | |

Excellent citation generator with very few adjustments for APA 6! When is version APA 7 available in this extension? | |

Works like a charm, except that I feel that the extension should know to ignore e.g. "DOI: " in front of a DOI. Such text is often selected automatically when using double-click to select the DOI (easier than dragging the cursor, where it's easy to miss the first or last character). [Edit: upgraded to 5 stars after implementation of suggestion!] | |

I see that you've recently added automatic stripping of DOI: but it does not seem to be case-insensitive for me... (works when changed to lowercase, not when changed back to uppercase) I would prefer if it could work using the address bar instead, but I see why it's not possible. Right now, it's likely as fast to google the string and hit first result. | |

Thanks so much, this extension is so useful while searching for literature. | |

Excellent extension. Being able to simply click on a DOI to be taken to the document makes life that much simpler, let alone the other functionality. It even works on DOIs within PDF documents. | |

Does almost everything I had custom implemented in Firefox - and then some! Custom doi url is perfect for my uni proxy + omnibox doi = straight to full (logged-in) texts! (one less thing holding me to Firefox use) The citation generation is helpful on occasion (but doesn't always work depending on the style selected) - though I usually use EndNote for that anyway. The ("and then some") right-click (context menu) to Google search or "resolve" is also nice, but the auto linkifying is what makes this extension truly perfect! (edited: had to restart browser for the linkifying to work properly) | |

Very useful! Would it be possible to turn a DOI in text into a clickable link? |
