2026-06-20	Ki*****	Started using Firefox recently and fell down the extension rabbit hole. MAL-Sync has honestly been one of the coolest finds so far. Setup was easy and it seems to do exactly what I wanted — keeping track of manga/manhwa progress without me having to remember which of my 200+ series I abandoned three chapters before greatness (or disaster). It syncing automatically is way more convenient than I expected. Only thing I'd love to see added (unless I completely missed it and exposed myself as a extensions rookie) would be some kind of built-in reader or improved page/slide viewing experience. That'd probably make it perfect for me. Overall though: super clean, super useful, and already earning permanent extension status.
