- | === Why doesn' | ||
- | |||
- | Zotero works with Firefox (3.0 and up) and Flock (2.0 and up) for Windows, Mac and Linux. Other browsers, like Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, currently lack the extension architecture to support many of Zotero' | ||
- | |||
- | === What about Google Gears, Opera Widgets, or HTML 5? === | ||
- | |||
- | These technologies do not provide the functionality needed by Zotero, including but not limited to the following: | ||
- | |||
- | * full and persistent integration with the native browser UI | ||
- | * access to the currently loaded document from site translators | ||
- | * local file I/O with stream and character set support | ||
- | * dragging/ | ||
- | * copying content to the clipboard | ||
- | * opening a local socket for word processor integration | ||
- | * observing and rewriting HTTP requests for 1.5's advanced proxy support | ||
- | * observing HTTP responses for automatic RIS/CSL ingestion | ||
- | * gzip support for fast syncing | ||
- | * RDF support for import/ | ||
- | * automatic locale support | ||
- | * external process launching for PDF indexing | ||
- | * an idle observer for running backup and sync operations | ||
- | * flexible attachment opening | ||
- | * revealing files in the filesystem | ||
- | |||
- | Google Gears, Opera Widgets and/or various HTML 5 API proposals might provide partial support for a few of these things, but nowhere near what would be needed to approximate current Zotero functionality. | ||
