It doesn't work on Edge as of today.

Cuando funciona, es medianamente útil porque agrega directamente la liga a Mendeley Desktop. Pero la edición de la información se tiene que hacer en Desktop. De repente ya no funciona y DEFINITIVAMENTE no detecta automáticamente la información en la fuente para completar el registro. Al final uno tiene que hacer el trabajo a mano.
