Free access to academic papers with just a single click via sci-hub!
Opens the sci-hub page for the article you want to read.
When on a publisher's page for an academic article, click the sci-hub "bird" icon to download the pdf or go to the corresponding sci-hub page (configure behavior in "options").
Works by searching for the doi anywhere on the page and then navigating to the corresponding sci-hub url.
Allows you to change the sci-hub domain in "preferences"/"options" in case the sci-hub mirror changes. The extension will automatically check if the server is down each time you click the extension and direct you to the options page to change the domain if so.
Note: This is a continuation of https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sci-hub-now/ by 0x01h but he no longer maintains it. I have made minor modifications and will continue maintaining it until at least 2024.

- It works great with most articles :)
- Douglas McDonald
- This is an awesome extension. One thing that could be added is a "document doesn't exist" error message. I've noticed that when an article isn't available on Sci-Hub (verified by website), the extension doesn't provide an error message. Instead, nothing happens and you are left to wonder what went wrong.

- Works well, and I prefer this extension to the sci-hub google scholar extension. Simple one click anytime you find yourself at URL for a paywalled paper. Good to recommend to others so that they don't have to fiddle with the website.
