Review Summary
The Google Scholar Button extension is praised for enabling fast and easy access to academic papers without changing browser context, significantly enhancing research efficiency. Users seek additional features like dark mode, more citation formats (including ABNT and IEEE), and persistent search results across tabs. Some experience difficulties accessing certain sources like bioRxiv or when behind proxies due to lack of domain switching options. Overall, it is considered an essential, user-friendly tool that facilitates scholarly work but could be improved with added features.
