Problem installing Chrome Connector (probably IT security)
At my workplace, I am having trouble installing the Chrome Connector. It seems like my IT department is restricting the installation. I was able to install the Firefox Connector.
Chrome Connector: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zotero-connector/ekhagklcjbdpajgpjgmbionohlpdbjgc
Error message: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Atcr8aCyjBrulPAFIrxmHm-dtjxtlQ
Is this a case of IT blocking all Chrome extensions of a certain type and Zotero's connector happens to be that type? Or, they are specifically blocking the Zotero connector? Knowing more will help when I write IT
I have administrator rights on my computer. The issue was first reported to me by a colleague who I am introducing to Zotero.
Windows 10 Enterprise ver 1607 64-bit, Google Chrome 64.0.3282.119

Does the bookmarklet save to local Zotero or Zotero.org?
When you say it doesn't move forward from the login page, what do you mean?
I tried with a Wikipedia page, too, just to be sure it's nothing to do with the journal article page I tried previously.
I have not tried Chrome in the past and presently, I can't get to the Zotero login page in Chrome. Error reported, "10.0.2.113 took too long to respond." I will try Chrome again later in the day. Just for today, I had the same issue briefly with Firefox but after a couple tries, I could login.
So, the issue is probably due to the IT policy at work?
Can Zotero (server) be run on the local intranet so that users have no communication with Zotero.org? Given all the IT restrictions, this might be the only way forward. I understand the setup is not straightforward but this will be done by the IT group so not worried about the complexity.
When I said the problem is at my end (at work) I was referring to the bookmarklet not working because I cannot go beyond the login page. But at home, the bookmarklet works fine.
