About this extension
This extension streamlines accessing and downloading scientific articles and books. Here's a breakdown of its features:

Scientific Articles: Clicking the toolbar button on an article page will open the article via a Sci-hub. You can enable Nexus support in the preferences page to search the article there if Sci-hub does not have it.

Books on Amazon, Google Books, or Goodreads: Pressing the toolbar button searches for the book on Libgen or Anna's Archive, showing the search results.

Download PDF Feature: Right-clicking on a scientific article link allows you to download the PDF. For book links on supported sites, it opens Libgen search results. This doesn’t work with Goodreads and Google Books – use the toolbar button instead.

Customizable Mirror Options: Users can switch between Sci-hub and Library Genesis mirrors or opt for Anna's Archive instead of Libgen via the options page.

The icon is made by Umeicon from www.flaticon.com.
