There is a browser extension called LeanLibrary, which you can install from here: https://www.technologyfromsage.com/products/lean-library-extension/

You can get free access to quite a lot of journals, etc. You just have to set it up to “Lean Library Open” as your institute, or to your University/College, if they are subscribed to it. Makes reading articles and stuff much easier.
