    Since the update to Firefox 85.0 the extention slows down the browser considerably. Makes all tasks feel sluggish

    Hello there

    Thanks for your feedback and we are sorry to hear this.

    In order to investigate this a bit more, we will need some more details. Please contact us at support@leanlibrary.com and we would be very happy to look into this and help resolve it for you.

    Best wishes

    The extension creates pop-ups which are unnecessarily big and don't disappear automatically after some time.
    Sometimes the pop-ups are useful when they provide a link to an alternative access site.
    Most of the times, the pop up simply states that an article has been unlocked.
    The pop-ups block a bit less than 1/4 of the web page, completely unnecessarily in either case.

    It would be very much appreciated if this could be fixed since the extension works well otherwise.

    Hello Rafael

    We appreciate your feedback.

    The pop-up size is determined by the institute's logo size and it is managed by your library but we understand this might be frustrating for you. To address this, on the Lean Library's extension page, please tick "Skip the popup and automate my access.", you will then stop seeing the pop-ups unless you click on our extension.

    To increase the optimization for our users, we are currently working on an end-user dashboard, where you will be able customize your own pop-up settings and set your own preferences.

    This is under development at the moment and we will release it soon so keep an eye out for an announcement about this!

    This add on is a helpful tool for saving time when scouring google scholar. However there aren't any options to disable pop-ups. I'd like to disable the 'announcement' style pop ups which aren't giving me any new information.
