Implement the best possible interface, regardless of lazy users' concerns, then create an easy version for them. Or at least make a second version that follows best-practices. Somewhat redundant program, otherwise. But great idea, and there's certainly something to be said for the fact that you've pursued the idea to this extent.

Echoing the sentiments of another reviewer, and the respective reply from dev...
"Best-practices" in mind, it's too bad that they're being sullied in favour of unskilled-user-friendliness. Kind of ends up being user-unfriendly for those who would use in a more 'serious'/efficient capacity...
My opinion, for what it's worth, is that best-practices ought to be pursued foremost, otherwise the tool becomes an interface nightmare for those who want to use it efficiently and thoughtfully. You'd end up with a better product and that's the best scenario for a creator. A lite version is perfectly reasonable once that's taken care of.
I appreciate what you've done, though, and understand where you're coming from. It's a fantastic idea, but problematic roll-out philosophy for me. Ends up being a bit of another time-consuming hoop to jump through which sort of defeats the purpose for those who are capable, yet looking to streamline the search and organization process.

I've ran into research papers in Nature, Astronomy and Astrophysics, The Astrophysical Journal, and many others that were behind a paywall, where the green unlocked icon came up, indicating it had located an open access version. However, hitting it just opens the webpage I'm on again in a new tab with another green icon that does the same. If this worked as intended for me, it would save countless hours of searching repositories like arxiv myself. Bummer.
As it stands, the one very useful function it serves, is if the icon comes up grey and locked, I know not to waste my time searching for an open access version elsewhere, or asking AI to scour the web for something that doesn't exist (AI deep research always confirms this).
Note: After reading through these comments, there seems to be a great deal of confusion about what Unpaywall does. First off, this is NOT for news and online magazine articles. For that you want the RemovePaywalls.com extension. Unpaywall is for scholarly articles, such as academic research papers. Also, Unpaywall doesn't "Break through" the paywall and open the research paper up on the publisher's site. It searches the web for a site where you can read it legally without paying, so you don't have to do it yourself. If the icon comes up grey and locked, it doesn't mean it's not working. It means it couldn't find an open copy in any of the usual places. Last, if it's not working for you, try disabling ad blockers and other extensions, since they can interfere with all sorts of things. - Vurdering: 5 av 5av ilovemikael, 4 månader sidan
