So Google Scholar now bars you from accessing search term results or papers from your Scholar alerts if youre on a VPN server. In every browser, with or without blocked trackers etc. I have to use a Brave Tor window to access Google Scholar. I am not turning off the VPN just to please Google.

Extractive tech practices are now at epidemic level.
