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.
