2023-12-02 Firefox user 16956326 EZProxy Redirect Foxified just works. It includes tons of proxies from all kinds of universities and libraries. If yours isn't listed, you can add a custom one. And the addon works within mere seconds.
2023-04-11 PerooNoob Very simple and effective. The database of proxies can be extended in Github :D

2022-10-29 Firefox user 17631614 Very straightforward, significantly better than my old flow-breaking process of copy-pasting the specific database's proxy url in! Super useful for articles found through non-library links, Google/scholar searches etc
2022-10-19 Firefox user 17522202 Works great on Firefox Windows 10, however on my laptop running Windows 11 it crashes every time I try changing a setting. It also doesn't appear to be passing my link anywhere as when I click the icon it just refreshes rather than loading it through a library site like normal. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling without luck. Appears to just be a bug related to Win 11. Hopeful for a fix down the line because it's a super useful utility.
2021-09-04 jakepat Straightforward and reliably does what it says on the tin. Indispensable for doing uni at home.
2021-02-22 rndusr This extension is very useful for people employed in academia, who wish to easily access research papers via their library's proxy without going via the library's (always hopeless) search portal. However, the fact that there does not seem to exist any public repository for the code is an utter nuisance that prevents me from rating this extension higher than three stars. Simply saying that it is based on EZProxy Redirect (which does have a public repository), without in any way indicating what the differences are, is shady at best. UPDATE: Thank you for making the code available, as mandated by the license used. I am now happy to give this extension five stars.
2021-02-10 Firefox user 13248124 It would be nice to have an icon for dark themes. Otherwise it's an irreplaceable add-on!
