Extension summary

Enhance Crunchyroll with a better queue and stylize it in any way you want :D . Not much to tell about it, just check the screenshots and try it out ;-) . And once you do, make sure to check the option page! Like seriously, check the option page! If you don't you will be missing out on so much stuff!

If you have features you would love to see, just let me know by writing a review. Just for the record, I will not be implementing premium member features for normal members, because that's Crunchyroll's fair right to add or hide.

Don't know how to get to the options page? You can get there through the google chrome menu as well, but if that's too hard: Just copy and paste the following link: chrome-extension://pdmgnoogmgjalmocjinpaedbiffbjoim/optionLauncher.html

Fairly poor in my opinion. Most features didn't really work as expected. I'll start with the positive, I really liked the concept of the private queue. Separating the anime I'm watching into categories really helps to organize my queue by allowing me to filter out anime that have no new episodes. The only issue with this is that, when on the "My Queue" section, clicking the "History" button causes these new options to disappear. The options under the "Miscellaneous" tab of the extension options seem to do as described although most don't seem too useful. (To me anyway, others may have uses for them) Unfortunately that's it for the positive, so now onto the bad: Most of the "Custom Styling" options either don't work or don't work as expected: 1) "Fix headbar to top" does indeed fix the headbar to the top, BUT it gets covered up by the main screen content when you scroll, making the feature pointless. 2) "Make Site Widescreen" For the most part does as expected except for on the home page where it makes the top scrolling-preview/ad/suggestions for new anime episodes cover the top row of simulcasts. 3) "Make site 'material design'-y" I had absolutely no idea what this was going to do before I tried it. It appears to add a border around the anime tiles to make them look raised like buttons, an unfortunate side effect seems to be that it ruins the look of the headbar by making everything tiny, changing the font and messing up the centering of the homepage button. 4) "Invert all colours (black theme)" I wouldn't call this a black theme, it does exactly as it says, inverts the colours. The main, area of the screen does indeed turn black, but many other things are effected as well, such as the Crunchyroll logo and the "watch now" buttons turning blue as well as other sections of the site having their colours inverted. I'm not sure if anyone would ever have a use for the Rotate Hue, Sepia or Grayscale options. Rotate Hue alters the Hue of the page , Sepia applies a Sepia filter (Which in my opinion looks awful) and the Grayscale applies grayscale. Can't really complain that they don't do as described though. As a final note, I feel like this could be a good or even great extension with some fixes and various improvements. I would be willing to give this extension another chance and an updated review if the extension is ever updated/patched.

Redirects you to a malware site - don't install.

This extension WAS amazingly useful before. Alas, now it just redirects you to a malware site. Stay away from this extension for now. If this gets fixed I'll make a 4-star review because that's what I would be willing to give it under normal circumstances.
