Pro tip: in Elsevier's case, middle-click the "Download PDF" link so it opens in a new tab. Briefly avoid switching to that tab until it does some redirects. Voilà, you get the actual PDF instead of the stupid viewer.
This looks like fantastic software btw, I wish more people would release their tools as old school POSIX-style shell scripts instead of asking for hundreds of MBs of dependencies or fancy electron GUIs.
