- | === 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 HTML 5, Google Chrome extensions, or Opera Widgets? === | ||
- | |||
- | 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 | ||
- | * Inter-process communication support for word processor integration | ||
- | * observing and rewriting HTTP requests for Zotero 2.0's advanced proxy support | ||
- | * observing HTTP responses for automatic RIS/CSL ingestion | ||
- | * gzip support for fast syncing | ||
- | * 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 | ||
- | |||
- | Various HTML 5 API proposals, Google Chrome, and/or Opera Widgets might provide partial support for some of these things, but nowhere near what would be needed to approximate current Zotero functionality. | ||
