Recommendations are solid - has been very helpful for my own research work

This is amazing! Found out quite a lot of interesting things without even having to leave the current page I'm on

This is one of the best idea ever, I like how it helps you find more stuff without having to look for them, to know what the www think about certain thing and maybe you go have a discussion there too... I see a lot of potential in this very new extension, I hope the dev will remain motivated to make it even better.
