Hi @azuravian, thanks again for this awesome plugin. I'm using it also on the book details section via custom column, so I made a modification to its html to make the output more compact. Now there's a technical adjustment beyond my knowledge that you might be able to do, if you find it necessary: can the plugin get the Author birth data from the mobile page, instead of the desktop one?

Take this author for instance:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/sho...Dianne_Ascroft

The plugin downloads this info:
Born in Toronto, Canada

However, the mobile page displays more complete data, which can be accessed on this link at the website footer: https://www.goodreads.com/toggle_mobile. At the end of the mobile page, on the right side, there's a spoiler-like expanding arrow that will show the full info on a section called "Author Details":
Born in Toronto, Canada on January 19, 1960.

This info is useful to filter authors born on a given date, using the FTS-like Notes search, like this:

Unfortunately, the URL is the same for both website versions, so this would need a cookie to be passed, as coders say here. The cookie name is mobvious.device_type, I've attached them in case you want to take a look.
