Summary

● For user guide, source code, etc. : https://github.com/liyuanhe211/LYH_DOI_Tools

● Features: ● Add a download button to every DOI on the page. ● Directly download PDF from citation info with the context menu option or use the shortcut [Ctrl+Shift+S]. ● Batch download PDFs from Lib-Gen for all DOI found in one page. ● Jump unnecessary clicks to make browsing experience smoother: ⚬ [Sci-Hub]: Click the "Open" button for you. ⚬ [Lib-Gen]: Click the "GET" button for you. ⚬ [Lib-Gen]: Auto refresh when 503 is triggered due to download several files at once (very useful for download large batch of files). ⚬ [Wiley]: Skip the Wiley ePDF page and direct download a PDF. ⚬ [x-mol.com]: The totally meaningless waiting period (a few seconds) before redirection when searching references on x-mol.com. ⚬ [Scifinder]: The need to click the single DOI link when opening Other sources on SciFinder.
