Many thanks, Victor!

Unfortunately I do not know how many more Open Access versions the integration of CORE actually ads, it does add a bit of resilience to the tool.

My thought was the following flow for users should be: 

1) Check unpaywall.org
2) Check core.ac.uk 
3) Offer the user a link to OpenAccessButton.org (OAB) to request the document. 

This way, the certainty of there not being an OA version is very high and the request to OAB all the more valuable. It's a fabulous service, which I appreciate a ton. Now the latest release can replace that request to OAB with a library specific link, like your Link Resolver or Request Form.

This was indeed an error of my making, I picked a minimum Firefox version, but there is nothing in the tool that would stop me from lowering to 78 and I will do that for the next release.

Interesting Project - To make integration easy, a JSON endpoint that accept a DOI would hit the mark for me and surely for others.

I appreciate the kind feedback! Feel free to reach out to me at any time at [log in to unmask], if you want to discuss about that API endpoint, or anything else for that matter.

Unlike the common wisdom that if you are not paying for something you are the product, I'd like to assure you that this isn't the case with Open Access Helper (feel free to check the network traffic). It's my hobby and a ton of fun. I won't say no to a cup of tea, if you were to insist ;)
