Omnibox usage: Type doi and press the space key. Now you can input a DOI code and press enter to retrieve the web destination.

FAQ:
Q1) Can I get DOI Resolver to automatically resolve DOI codes when I enter them in the Omnibox?
A1) The Omnibox API from google prohibits extensions from hijacking input until a keyword is typed (in this case 'doi'). Really, it's better this way; otherwise, rogue extensions would all be fighting to take control of the Omnibox.

Very well done. I've been using it for about 10 minutes now and haven't encountered a bug, which is more than I can say for most of my own code. It's such a simple thing but it streamlines the research process so much.

This extension probably saves me about a day each year in time looking for articles in my university's library website.

Excellent citation generator with very few adjustments for APA 6! When is version APA 7 available in this extension?
