User reviews

Essentials for KissAnime is praised for significantly enhancing users' anime watching experience by adding handy features like episode tracking, customizable video player, and ad blocking (in earlier versions). However, multiple reviews mention the extension lost ad blocking function and important playback features in recent updates, leading to reduced satisfaction. Users also express concerns over privacy permissions and occasional bugs requiring page refreshes. Despite KissAnime site shutdown impacting its utility, fans remain grateful for the extension's improvements and hope for future updates or adaptation to new anime streaming sites.

Pros

Enhances the KissAnime viewing experience with innovative features like customizable video player and continue watching functionality.
Helpful for managing and tracking anime episodes, including features like pinned anime list and last watched episode.
Used to effectively block ads, improving usability and safety from inappropriate pop-ups.
Offers convenient links to torrents and other anime-related sites.
Received appreciation for its overall usefulness and the developers' efforts.

Cons

No longer supports ad blocking, diminishing user experience due to ads and pop-ups.
Recent updates removed key features such as auto resume, resolution selector, and displaying the most recent episode, leading to user dissatisfaction.
Issues with the extension not displaying the pinned anime list until page refresh and problems with alternate video page toggle.
Privacy concerns about the request for browsing history permission causing users to uninstall the extension.
Some features are buggy, annoying, or do not work as intended with occasional necessity to refresh the page to fix issues.

Recent reviews

is there any chance that this extension could be compatible with https://www.kimanime.com if reconfigured slightly?, because that site is running off the original kissanime.ru web UI data. so it is the closest thing to kissanime.ru being revived, so this extension should be compatible with just a bit of reconfiguring and operation syncing, which would at least make it easier for you to pull off. at least think about it, even check the site out for yourself and see if you can do anything with it.
