Reviews of jabref browser extension:
Excellent extension, along with the primary JabRef software, for those who are serious LaTex users. This is indispensable for extracting citation information from various web sources but more so for handling Bibtex references. Without it, the Chicago Style of citations packages within LaTex would be much more cumbersome to work with. Also, not sure about another review posted here, but this extension works well with the Brave Browser. Finally, hats off to the developers!
Does not work on Brave Browser.
Not as good as zotero connector, generally cannot extract information from websites, great idea but needs some work :)
