Available for beta testing: Improved Zotero Connector for Safari

dstillman Zotero Team
The latest Zotero beta for macOS includes an updated Zotero Connector for Safari that addresses a number of the previous limitations in Safari:
  • Proxy support — automatically detecting proxy logins and redirecting previously accessed sites through the proxy (e.g., redirecting jstor.org to jstor-org.proxy.univ.edu) so you can download gated resources such as PDFs
  • One-click installation of citation styles from the Zotero styles page, GitHub, or Gitee, with no download step
  • Improved saving of gated PDFs on some sites
  • Proper detection of single-page sites (e.g., YouTube), so the save button updates without a full page reload (requires Safari 26.2+ for some sites)
When you first run the updated extension, Safari will show a permissions prompt for connecting to 127.0.0.1. Be sure to allow access, or the Connector won't be able to save to the Zotero app. In an upcoming beta, we'll add a clearer error message when this access is denied.
