I can understand when you're used to certain software (e.g.

You are also at a difficult stage of your PhD research where stress levels are high. Zotero connector does not work with the older browser. To clarify: you have an older computer with an older browser (High Sierra). If you got this far, thank you for reading: Does anyone have an idea that might help me find a way to use a Safari connector on High Sierra? meaning i've potentially created the same issue for others. I'm really regretting choosing Zotero for my thesis and feel absolutely awful, as previously I would recommend this to anyone who would listen. This is honestly so stressful I could cry. Using Chrome significantly slows down my computer, at least once a day it freezes my Mac. Aside from how clunky and buggy both systems are, neither manage bookmarks and reading lists as well as Safari - which is a big part of my process.Ĭurrently, I need to add an extra step in of copy/pasting links from my reading list to Chrome (Firefox is a hard no) in order to save the citation, or enter it in manually. I also find Chrome and Firefox to be awful browsers, I briefly tried Chrome and I Firefox and absolutely hated it. It's really not as simple as that! This would fundamentally change the way I work. It's so frustrating that the response to users like me seems to be a dismissive ' Just use Chrome or Firefox'.

Zotero opted not to make this work for those on High Sierra when Apple changed the way extensions operate. I have a mid-2011 iMac that can't be upgraded beyond High Sierra (even with a patch), which means I no longer have access to the connector on Safari. For me, this means updating some of the chapters that were written a couple of years ago with information that has happened since. This phase of a PhD is stressful anyway, so please be kind. I know a lot of people don't get this, but I can't afford a new computer and changing the way I work so close to submission is a truly bad idea.
