Extension summary

This extension is no longer in active development. I do intend to come back to it at some point but I am very busy at the moment. Because of this the web server that host the list used for searching has been disabled so I have temporarily removed that feature from the extension.

Adds features to xkcd comics. These include:

  • Keyboard navigation (including arrow keys)
  • Easy title text
  • Better random comic selection
  • A favourites list
  • A search function (removed but will be added again later)
  • A link to explain xkcd more detail about each feature can be found below.

All features are toggle able through a pop-up settings page and all settings are synced across devices using chrome sync.
