Description

Use this extension to quickly resolve DOI and ShortDOI codes via any one of several methods: extension button, right-click on selected text, or omnibox with keyword: doi. DOI Resolver packs some great additional features, too: 1) Generate QR codes which can be scanned by smartphones to share a publication 2) Automatically convert DOI codes on web pages into links (optional) 3) Specify your own DOI resolver URL (useful if your institution provides a proxy service) 4) Generate formatted citations for publications 5) Maintain a history of viewed DOIs No user data is collected by this extension and no information is sent back to the author. This is an open source project. https://github.com/mdmower/doi-resolver Omnibox usage: Type doi and press the space key. Now you can input a DOI code and press enter to retrieve the web destination.

I see that you've recently added automatic stripping of DOI: but it does not seem to be case-insensitive for me... (works when changed to lowercase, not when changed back to uppercase) I would prefer if it could work using the address bar instead, but I see why it's not possible. Right now, it's likely as fast to google the string and hit first result.
