PROSEC Linker for Zotero has Atlas grade B (use with care) because it sends data through a public relay: file.io. It's a Zotero 6 plugin, so Zotero 7 and later can't load it. What to use instead. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.
Downloads a .xpi file (0.06 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
