[Zotero 7beta] Duplicated ScienceDirect CAPTCHA pages

At least I have had this issue in the tens of beta versions before. Initially, I thought Elsevier showed an anti-robot window and so did Zotero, causing duplicated CAPTCHA windows. However, I recently discovered that [The CAPTCHA window appears in the Zotero app](https://www.zotero.org/support/7.0_changelog), as well as mentioned in
https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/451390/#Comment_451390.

So I guess this may be a product of UI optimization. If it is not a particular design, can we remove the former and only leave the latter with a more modern design? I think it will improve the experience of downloading attachments from Science Direct.

Thanks a lot!

    The CAPTCHAs are from Elsevier, not us. We just display them.

    We're working on an alternative way of downloading files in Zotero that should avoid problems from anti-bot mechanisms, on ScienceDirect and on other sites.

    Thanks for your effort, looking forward to it.
