## Description

MangaGlow Overlay is an unofficial Firefox desktop interface enhancement for MangaGo. It modernizes navigation, series pages, chapter lists, catalogs, comments, profiles, and the personal Library while preserving MangaGo’s native links, forms, and account actions.

<ul><li>Three responsive themes: Kagarbon, Mgo, and Kawaii</li><li>Modern desktop navigation, account menus, profiles, feeds, and Library pages</li><li>Searchable chapter lists with uploader filtering, sorting, Scroll mode, and Expand mode</li><li>Tabbed series workspace for Chapters, Comments, Author’s Works, Manga Images, Reader Lists, and recommendations</li><li>Improved comments and replies with search, spoiler controls, emoji, optional media previews, and user-requested GIF search</li><li>Native MangaGo reading-status, Quick Add, Add-to-list, voting, reply, and account actions remain authoritative</li><li>Official purchase, translation, publisher, and creator links located through MangaUpdates</li><li>Optional recent-catalog and uploader-context tools using public MangaGo page information</li><li>Local settings and bounded caches with no developer account, analytics, advertising, or remote code</li></ul>
MangaGlow contacts MangaUpdates when a series page is opened to locate relevant official-release information. GifSnap or Openverse is contacted only after the user explicitly starts a GIF search. Other page requests remain on MangaGo and support visible, user-facing features.

MangaGlow does not host, download, mirror, proxy, or redistribute manga or chapter images.

This is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by MangaGo, MangaUpdates, GifSnap, Openverse, any publisher, or any uploader profile referenced by an organizational filter.

Firefox desktop is supported. Firefox for Android is not currently published or supported.
