All of these options will retain access to the original site from which the information was recieved.
So if you, say, find yourself going to Chrome for its speed and nice interface, you can simply connect it with Zotero and use Firefox to host your local Zotero library until Zotero Standalone comes along. Depending on the content of the page, Zotero will save the information as a news article or a screenshot, or will give you the option to save multiple resources from a database directly to your Zotero library. The Zotero developers are working on a standalone version, but these connectors can already talk to your Zotero library in Firefox. Once you’ve installed the extension, you're ready to use the Save to Zotero button to capture information. If the webpage does not open in your preferred internet browser, you can either select the Show all connectors link at the bottom left of the screen, or you can copy the URL and paste it into your preferred browser.
This will link you to the Zotero webpage where you can install the browser extension. To add the Save to Zotero button to your browser from Zotero, click on Tools at the top menu of the Zotero desktop app, and select Install Browser Connector. The Save to Zotero button grabs information from any web page – in some cases a complete article – and adds it to your Zotero library. You can also easily edit the metadata of your saved resources prior to importing them into Zotero. With this browser extension, you can save a set of search results, an individual article, or a screenshot of a page directly to your Zotero desktop app. Zotero has an easy to use tool that installs in any web browser called the Save to Z otero button.
