Sci-Hub addon button is added to the toolbar (top right corner), with a raven head icon. Click it to get full access to a paper blocked by the journal with a paywall.
(starting from Firefox 109 version, you might need to manually pin it to the toolbar. The Sci-Hub button must be available on the Extensions icon of the toolbar).
Upon installation, addon requests access to the browsing information. In practice, only the URL of the current tab is obtained, when the user clicks the addon button, in order to access the paper. The addon absolutely does not collect or store any type of data.
Since version 1.3, the user can change the sci-hub url in the Options, in case the default url is not working/blocked for the user.
I made it as simple and transparent as it can be.
I'll be happy to receive feedback with suggestions for improvement.
