Full summary
This extension adds a browser button for easy access to Google Scholar from any web page. Click the Scholar button to: Find full text on the web or in your university library. Select the title of the paper on the page you're reading, and click the Scholar button to find it. Transfer your query from web search to Scholar. Press the Scholar button to see top three results; click "full screen" at the bottom of the popup to see them all. Format references in widely used citation styles. Press the quote button below the result to see a formatted reference and copy it into the paper you're writing. Save the article to your Scholar library, so you can read it or cite it later. Press the blue star below the result to save it, or the gray star at the bottom to see all saved articles. Library links work best when you're on campus. To configure them for off-campus use, visit Google Scholar Settings at https://scholar.google.com/scholar_settings (you may need to login with your library password or to set up your browser to use a library proxy; please visit your library's website or ask a local librarian for assistance). To search the US case law, click the gear icon at the bottom of the popup, and configure your preferred collection in Google Scholar Settings.

We provide safe, fast, and clutter-free browsing. Our extension gives you full adblock functionality, stops trackers from accessing your personal data, and annoying cookie consent pop-ups. Our users enjoy online privacy protection that works out-of-the-box. No need for customization and maintenance! We have three main components: Ad-Blocking - blocks all ads on websites you visit with your Chrome browser, including Youtube and Facebook, helping you to focus only on the information important to you. Anti-Tracking - stops trackers' ability to collect your personal data, replacing it with random values and anonymizing your identity for data brokers. If you see a need to unblock individual trackers, the option is available. Never-Consent - automatically removes intrusive cookie pop-ups and sends an important message to website owners telling them that you don't want to be tracked. This feature adds convenience to each website you visit and acts like your privacy advocate towards content providers while using Chrome. Our ad-blocking extension comes with additional features not found in any other ad blocker: Trackers information on any website you visit, informing you about the number of trackers, their type, and the company operating them. Trackers Preview on search engine result pages - displaying tracker information even before you visit a page. If you decide to visit the website, Ghostery will block any trackers waiting for you there. WhoTracks.Me - Owning and operating the largest database of trackers allows Ghostery to update tracker information fast and reliably for all users. See more
