I have a few questions:

1. I see there is a Chrome extension, but I have not used Chrome since their adblocker blocker announcement. Is a Firefox extension planned?

2. What is the business model? Is this an open beta of a paid product? If this is not a product, will the code be released at some point?

3. It would be helpful to be able to filter papers by institution or author. Is this planned or out of scope?

Hello,

1. Yes, I am working on it, I will soon release it for Firefox and Safari (by this weekend). 2. For now I am just trying to see what people want, may be the business model is more focused on mcp for higher limits for labs, lets see where is goes. 3. The paper/article search already has author search, I can add the university search soon in both the paper/article and altas/map search.

Thank you for all the questions and suggestions.

The extension is live in Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/tomesphere/
