Extension summary

Countless journal sites have adopted the same terrible web design, requiring an extra click to get a PDF of an article. Nobody has time for that. This is a simple fix: a Google Chrome Extension that modifies the links to the PDFs such that they won't open up with frames.

Outstanding, but need continual updating as the dastardly publishers try to make it hard to download the pdf files we have licenses for <sigh>
