Does the Zotero extension for Chrome also work with the Iron-browser?

Dear all,

anybody knows if the Zotero extension for Chrome also works with the Iron-browser? After downloading it I didn't succeed in installing the extension as an add-in for the Iron-browser. In my institute Firefox is flickering heavy, my admin can't resolve the problem at the moment and only offered Iron as an alternative.

Best, Sebastian

    It's certainly not tested so if it doesn't work, you're probably out of luck. It does work with Chromium, though, if google-related privacy is the main concern.

    Hi Adam,
    thank you for the information, I will advise my admin about it. You were right, it's about privacy.
    Best,
    Sebastian

    I just tested it out and Zotero seems to work the same as with Chrome. I didn't test it exhaustively, so there might be web pages that don't work in Iron but work in Chrome.

    Have you been able to install the browser extension for Chrome in Iron?

    yes

    Could you please briefly describe me how you did it? By downloading it I am asked to save the extension as an crx-file. Afterwards, I don't know how to open it or to add it to Iron.

    In SRWare Iron, go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zotero-connector/ekhagklcjbdpajgpjgmbionohlpdbjgc and click the "Free" button. That shouldn't trigger a download, it should add the extension to the browser. If it's downloading, your setting might be messed up somewhere (though there may be a way to load extension from a downloaded file)
