Preload the next page of a webcomic for faster archive binging
Webcomic Preloader Extension
This extension speeds up webcomics by pre-loading the next page in the background. This way, when you decide to go to the next page of the comic, you don't have to wait for it.
To activate the extension (per tab):
- open the webcomic you want to read
- press the arrow symbol in the extension bar;
the arrow should turn yellow
To teach the extension how to find the next page, just click the link to the next page as normal. After a few seconds, the page should change, and the arrow should turn green. If the arrow doesn't turn green, the extension failed to identify the pattern for the \"next page\" link; if there are multiple links to the next page, try clicking a different one.
To go to the next page of a comic, either click the normal link to the next page or press enter.
This is an entirely personal project.
