How government and other websites are zotero-proof?

This happened a few years ago. A website was made zotero proof by forcing zotero to use a translator that prevented zotero from being able to get a screen capture of the page you were looking at.

That problem seems to have returned, only now a U.S. government website has zotero capturing a URL to an unrelated document. Here's the website:

https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Statistics-Trends-and-Reports/NationalHealthExpendData/NationalHealthAccountsHistorical

Is there any way to stop permitting websites to dictate to zotero what method is used to capture the website and what is captured?


  • This is a misunderstanding of how Zotero works and what the websites are doing (nothing). Read through Data Quality and Choosing a Translator to better understand how this works. You can hover over the address bar to see the translator being used. In this case there's just a DOI on the page that Zotero is detecting. You can always save just a webpage item and snapshot by right-clicking on the save button.
