Great extension. Found a bug: if the author has a name like "A-B C", where A-B is the given name and C is the surname, Google Scholar will abbreviate his/her name into "AB C". However, the extension can only recognize and highlight the name when it is spelt "A B C". Please fix. Thanks.

This is very useful for my wife (who is switching from Accounting to Computer Science) to help her tell who’s the real deal and who’s just bluffing.

Hello, this is an excellent plugin. However, I do have one small suggestion. Currently, the plugin only recognises co-first authors in the physical second position. In reality, co-first authors are not necessarily in the physical second position; they may appear further down the list.

It's great extension. One feature request: For the paper ranked first in co-first authors, it should be recognized as first author work.

Everything is great! Can we also have a tag for co-senior or corresponding authorship? with the same tag †, ‡, §, * or something btw, I like using # as the tag for the corresponding authorship. Is it possible to add # as a tag. Thank you!

Hi This is a very useful extension! There are two possible improvements: (1) For the co-first paper, add an option to just count the first author of the co-first paper, instead of counting all co-first paper. (I believe this also makes sense to many others) (2) For the single-authored paper, it is displayed as first-authored paper AND last-authored paper. It would be visually better to just show as the first-authored.
