Does a good job of improving usability on the desktop, especially by giving sorting options not available on the webpage. Would be great, if it also implemented fixes for webpages, that prevent loading in the frame by "X-frame-options sameorigin", or that force a redirect. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/15534822/2075630 The addon "Ignore X-frame headers" can be used as work-around, but ignoring them on *all* webpages isn't desirable.

Doesnt load all pages

It gets the job done, but it's very cluttered. The font size is too small, and the borders are unnecessary. A progress bar would be nice (not just number unread). I like to pick the next comic to read by how long it is. NB: I'm coming from the FF plugin which is much cleaner, but Chrome > FF these days.
