Longbox Extension

Have you ever found a great blog or webcomic that you'd love to read from the beginning, but its humongous archive feels daunting? You need Longbox!

Longbox is built for just such large-archive, serialized web sites (be they webcomics, blogs, fanfic, or whatever). Go to the first entry you want to start reading, then click the Longbox icon in your Chrome toolbar and add the site to your reading pile. Now, read the site as usual, and Longbox will keep track of the most recent page you read. No need to keep a tab open for days and weeks on end until you catch up, or manually adding and removing bookmarks every time you read -- next time you want to read, just click on the site in Longbox's reading pile, and pick up right where you left off!

Longbox takes the hassle out of catching up.

Eric Vilas (ID: 000000ce70d5fb4f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/25/2018 It's just what I needed! It's simple, and it works well. The only thing I would change is adding the option to rename the sites, since sometimes the "name" of the series isn't in the title of the tab. (such as XKCD's "what if" series) (Maybe allowing the option to reorganize the tabs would be a good idea too)
