Great extension! BTW, any plan to support the last/corresponding author in different colors? Or probably a user-defined setting.

AI product read

Highlights first, co-first, and last author publications on Google Scholar profile pages.

Makes it difficult to quickly identify which publications on a Google Scholar profile page are authored (or co-authored) by the profile owner, especially when scanning long publication lists.

1. User visits a Google Scholar profile page (e.g., scholar.google.com/citations?user=...). 2. The content script runs and extracts the profile owner's name from #gsc_prf_in. 3. It parses each publication entry's author list, checking for asterisks and matching surnames/initials. 4. Matching rows are highlighted in yellow (first author) or blue (last author). 5. A MutationObserver ensures new publications loaded via pagination or search are also styled.

Target users: Academic researchers / Students / Professors / Anyone reviewing Google Scholar profiles

The extension only works on Google Scholar profile pages (citations*), not on search results or other Scholar pages. It relies on Google Scholar's DOM structure (#gsc_prf_in, .gs_gray, .gsc_a_tr) which could break if Google changes their layout. Last author detection may fail for very long author lists where Google truncates the display with '…' or '...'.

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is free with no paid features, subscriptions, or billing logic. The keyword 'pro' found in the static scan was a false positive from the word 'profile' in README.md and internal metadata files. There are no references to Stripe, PayPal, subscription plans, upgrade prompts, or license keys.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension is a client-side content script that runs on Google Scholar profile pages. It does not implement any login UI, nor does it require the user to authenticate with the extension itself. While Google Scholar requires a Google account to view profiles, the extension itself does not gate its functionality behind a login; it simply styles the page based on the currently visible author name (#gsc_prf_in).
