I didn't expect it to open even one article but it did straight away, wonderful extension.

Good extension

Actually really good for getting things hidden behind a paywall, those saying it's a scam are idiots- the extension might not be clear with instructions so i'll explain, click the download button and if it doesn't respond, it can't find it. Clicking the download button just opens a pdf- It doesn't actually download anything. Super helpful for getting things from oxford or stanford or any other college/university that puts papers behind a paywall, or restricts them to certain people within the orginization. Also it works by searching the name of the paper into this one website, so if you go to that website it's great to find new sources because you can search there yourself, overall 10/10 extension, I will be recommending it to anyone who has problems with accessing papers online.

When I first installed this extension, I was skeptical that a single button could find free academic articles so reliably. But it consistently surprised me by locating PDFs and legal copies that I otherwise wouldn’t have found without hours of digging. A must-have for academics.

Open Access Button helped me discover research I didn’t even know existed. It connected me to open repositories and institutional archives I had never used before. This one little add-on expanded my research horizons in ways I didn’t think a browser extension could.

Installing the Open Access Button was one of the best decisions I made for my thesis research. Instead of bouncing between database after database, the extension did the heavy lifting for me, searching open access repositories and pulling up legal full texts whenever available. It made research feel less frustrating and more productive.
Bernard Austin
I’ve been a researcher for years, and the Open Access Button completely transformed how I find articles. With one click it would automatically detect a paper’s DOI and search legal open access versions across repositories around the world saving me hours of manual searching. It’s one of the few tools I truly relied on to break through paywalls and keep my literature reviews flowing.

Beyond its functionality, what stands out most is the purpose behind this extension. It’s clear that it was built by people who care about access to information. The request feature is a great addition, and the overall experience feels polished and trustworthy. This is one of those rare extensions that genuinely makes the internet better.

I love that this extension focuses on legal and ethical access to research. Instead of relying on questionable websites, I can trust that the papers I’m accessing are legitimately shared by authors or institutions. It feels good to support a tool that respects copyright while still prioritizing access to knowledge.
Kenneth Williams
I appreciate how lightweight and straightforward this extension is. There’s no clutter, no confusing setup, and no unnecessary features. When I hit a paywall, I click the button and often get instant access to the paper. It works across many major publishers and has become a permanent part of my research workflow.

The Open Access Button is incredibly simple to use and surprisingly powerful. I like that it works quietly in the background and only shows up when you need it. It has helped me access papers I assumed were completely locked behind paywalls. Knowing that it only finds legal, open-access versions makes it even better. Highly recommended for researchers, students, and educators.
Benusimi Godwin
As a student, I constantly run into paywalls when searching for journal articles, and this tool has been a lifesaver. With just one click, it often finds a free, legal version of the paper from an open repository. Even when it doesn’t immediately find a PDF, it gives helpful options to request the article. It saves me a ton of time and frustration compared to manually searching Google Scholar or multiple databases.
HABIBAT
I was a little hesitant at first, but the Open Access Button has completely exceeded my expectations. The interface is clean, simple, and incredibly user-friendly. You don’t need to be tech-savvy to use it – I just click the button whenever I encounter a paywall, and the extension does the rest. It’s so convenient to have it directly in my browser, and I love that it also provides me with alternative ways to access content when it isn’t immediately available for free.
Job Wilson
The extension can be slow and unresponsive at times, taking too long to search for open access versions before giving up.
Grace Dauda
This extension is a scam!

excellent
LUCAS ANDREW
The Open Access Button has saved me countless hours by instantly finding free, legal versions of research papers that are normally locked behind paywalls. Instead of manually searching multiple repositories, I can rely on one simple click to check for open access versions. It’s incredibly efficient and well designed.
