Well I never see anybody talk about it anywhere, so it doesn't seem to be popular. If you're not aware, Google Chrome is a web browser that can use extensions or apps. And there happens to be this incredible extension that makes manga reading incredibly convenient. I'll never go back... It keeps track of all the manga I read, and tells me the instant a new chapter comes out with a direct link. It is incredibly useful. Also, loading pages one at a time is obsolete. It loads every page of the chapter at once and takes a few seconds, and then you simply scroll down the page to go to the next one. Also if you have a wide screen they can be displayed side by side to be read like a book. It's really wonderful and I could never keep up without it. It doesn't seem like many people are aware of an easier way to read.

I've never tried any extensions. What is the name of the one you are describing and where can I get it?

What is the name of the app? Does it work with firefox? I don't use apps, but I have a program, comicrack that's really useful, for reading the manga I download...

http://allmangasreader.com/ I'm pretty sure it only works for Chrome. It's totally safe. I've used it for a long long time. Way back to the Onemanga days lol.

I don't, because I find this site to be perfectly useful. It frequently tells me about a new chapter before the chapter is on any of the reading sites that I use.
If the plugin works on Chrome on Android then I will try it. Right now I use an Android app named Manga Watcher, which does a fair job of keeping track of when new chappies come out and lets me download those chappies to my pad to read when I am offline (I only have wi-fi, not a data plan). It could be a little better, as it only flags manga with new chappies since my last download, so it doesn't tell me which ones I have downloaded but not read yet.
Do you know off the top of your head if the plugin will work on Chrome on Android? Sigh. Yet another gizmo to test. There comes a point in my life where testing and maintaining the gizmos becomes a job, rather than a convenience.

I've used that as well but having all pages displayed at ones is the deal sealer for me. Try it. You'll absolutely love it lol. Waiting for pages to load is so old
