BetterMangaReader Extension

Enjoy a better manga reading experience and with less hassle by letting us keep track of all your mangas and letting you know when each have been updated. BMR also displays every page of your manga onto one page so that you can just scroll downward to keep reading instead of going page to page, one by one..

This is still in beta, and as such is limited to only working on:

*MangaHere
*MangaTown
*MangaStream

During the beta, it's always helpful if you find any bugs to report them here under the issues tab on the Github page and maybe if you're feeling spry, knock out a couple of the fixes yourself and submit a pull request.

Daniel Gitau (Njuguna) (ID: 000000d8b2977d58) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/29/2016 This is a great extension... when it works. I've been using it for a while and it's great. However, the last two days it keeps resetting every time I turn off the computer. I shouldn't have to set it up every day. You guys need to fix it!

daniel magen (ID: 000000097663c81c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/14/2016 if someone wants to remove the annoying bar at the top you could use uBlock Origin to block it. you want to do it after you already added all the mangas to your tracker. to get it back you just go to uBlock Origin options to "my filters" tab and remove bmr-controls
