Introduction

A browser extension that scrobbles what you're reading with MyAnimeList

Currently Supported Sites:

• KissManga
• MangaDex
• MangaReader
• 9Anime
• Batoto (RIP)

There came the need for an extension to update MAL because the one I have for anime, MAL Updater OS X, uses Chrome's applescript to get a list of tabs (not necessarily the active one) and take the first one that it came upon that matched its search parameter's (eg. KissAnime or Crunchyroll).

While it may be normal to have only one anime tab open, I typically have tens of manga tabs open -- thus came the need for a solution to the active tab problem: mal-autosync-manga.

Original source code and inspiration from mal-scrobble.
