This used to work really well but recently it won't open on some websites, which makes it useless because I cant get MLA on the website but I can from the extension. The citations aren't always accurate but its okay. I'm more upset by the fact that sometimes it just doesn't work.

Thanks for your work. As a health professional, we use AMA or Vancouver style. Is it possible to ad this style to your extension?
