Is Google Scholar Button safe?
Adds a browser button for searching Google Scholar from any web page.
This extension lets you search Google Scholar from a popup, including by selecting a paper title on the current page. It shows top results, can open full results on Google Scholar, formats citations, and lets you save articles to your Scholar library. It uses access to the active tab, browser tabs, storage, and scholar.google.com to provide these features.
