Jakob Kunzler (ID: 0000003a2b0c4635) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/24/2021 This probably is out of the developers control...but I keep getting an issue where the Google API to Google Scholar thinks I'm a robot. This hangs the extension when I'm trying to use it, and it won't start working again until I manually go the Google Scholar page, try to look something up, then get asked if I'm a robot with a captcha. Once I clear the captcha, the extension works again. Any way to resolve this from the application side?
