AniList Watcher Extension

It’s pretty straightforward. The extension helps you search for the media you’re browsing on AniList on your favorite streaming or reading site (from the ones it supports). It adds a button that lets you jump straight to the search page, or if you prefer, right to the first episode or chapter, with filters already set up to make sure you only see the title you’re after.

This extension is open source at https://github.com/Sans3108/AniList-To-AniWave
