What is the MangaTime Browser Extension?
The MangaTime browser extension is a powerful companion tool that brings your manga tracking experience directly to your browser. It’s designed to work seamlessly with your mobile app, providing instant access to your reading list and tracking capabilities without ever leaving your browser.
Key Features
Instant Access to Your Reading List
Open a small popup window that shows the same data and controls you’d find in the “Next Chapters” screen of your mobile app. No need to switch between devices or open your phone.
Smart Auto Tracking
The extension intelligently detects when you’re reading a manga chapter and automatically prompts you to mark it as read when you finish. Our advanced algorithm runs 100% locally on your device - it understands your reading patterns without ever sending your navigation data anywhere.
Compact and Non-Intrusive
The extension runs quietly in the background and only appears when you need it. The popup window is designed to be small and unobtrusive, so it never interferes with your browsing experience.
Real-Time Synchronization
Your browser extension automatically syncs with your mobile app. Mark chapters as read, update your progress, or add new series - everything stays in sync across all your devices.
Plus User Exclusive
This powerful feature is available exclusively to MangaTime Plus users, giving you another reason why upgrading to Plus is worth every penny.
