Have been trying the addon for a couple weeks now; the integration to webpages is smooth, i have not seen any slowdown due to this on firefox. I haven't managed to find the code online, which could be a great way to implicate the open-source community in the project. Also, is there any legal way to integrate the plugin with scihub ? That would make this addon perfect.
