Review summary

Users appreciate the Google Scholar Button for enabling quick and convenient access to academic papers without switching tabs, significantly aiding research. However, several have expressed desire for additional citation formats like ABNT and IEEE, the ability to persist search results across tab switches, dark mode support, and enhanced features like batch selection and highlighting. Some also noted difficulties accessing certain papers and proxy issues, indicating room for improvement despite the extension's overall positive reception.

pt É uma extensão perfeita para otimizar sua pesquisa dando acesso rápido e sem necessidade de mudança de abas, janelas ou "pilhas para encontrar o artigo desejado. Para ser ainda melhor ela poderia exibir o DOI dos artigos diretamente abaixo de seu título.
