As the topic says, anyone know of any comic reader programs that can handle web comics?

I normally use CDisplayEX, and have no problems with it, but the one thing it doesn't do well is handle the vertical scrolling web comics that are becoming more and more popular. It breaks the pages up individually, instead of offering continuous scrolling, which makes the experience a little jarring.

I did read about another program that does just what I'm looking for, called PicWalker, but it is apparently over 10 years old, and I can't find any working downloads in my searches.

So does anyone know of any alternatives that I can use in order to read web toons?

Do you want one for Android? I used to use Tachiyomi, but it's a little tricky to install. I didn't install it on my latest tablet & I can't remember if I was just too lazy to install it or there was some other problem. In any case, Maru works well. It has a banner at the bottom but only on menu screens & it's very non intrusive.

Thanks, but I'm looking for one for my PC (Windows 10).

I think I found one that might work, although I'll have to try it out for a bit to make sure:

ComicRack

With a few settings changes, you can get it set up to scroll vertically:

Here are the steps

The poster asked if there was a way to turn off auto-scrolling, and there is: Just go to the Read tab, and then the option for Auto Scrolling is 3rd up from the bottom. Just click on it to turn it off or on.

As I said, once I played around with the settings, it seems to work well enough, but if there are any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
