Comicrack vs yacreader6/8/2023 ![]() The extension will work on Chrome OS devices and more standard desktops, but with the options laid out above, there’s really no reason to use it on anything but a Chromebook. Like many Chrome extensions, this one is supported by advertising, and there’s no way to pay to get rid of the web-based ads. The super-simple interface offers one- or two-page views with standard or right-to-left reading, with the fullscreen option controlled by the browser itself. The minimal interface can load up CBR or CBZ archive files wither from your personal Google Drive account or on your local machine. The Chrome Web Store isn’t exactly littered with dedicated comic viewers, but this seems to be the best among a very short field of contenders. On that note, it’s only available for Windows, more’s the pity. That specialization does seem to be a bit of a detriment for those looking for wider image file support or library tools, though-you’ll have to keep your files organized manually in Windows Explorer. This focus extends to more than just the right-to-left default page layout: the image display includes various tools that make black-and-white scans more visible and legible on computer screens, something that isn’t typically a concern for full color graphic novels. I couldn't see a way to line the issues up in the scraper window, and insert a 'gap' where I. For example, I had issues 1-14, then issue 15 was missing, then I had 16-22, then 23 was missing, and i had the rest of the issues. It is difficult to scrape a series when there is a missing issue or two. While you can certainly use MangaMeeya for western comics, it’s designed specifically for Japanese-style manga. Just another point about the Comic Vine Scraper. It’s probably the simplest and best-looking item on this list (with no particular care for libraries or tagging), so it’s a pity that the developer has only released a macOS version. ![]() Though it supports all the common archive formats and includes the usual bells and whistles like double-page display and right-to-left reading, it does so with a minimal interface that will make you nostalgic for a Steve Jobs software demo. ![]() Releases are hosted by Github, if you are looking for a previous version you can get it from here.SimpleComic uses the fluid, and integrated user interface that was popular with mid-aughts OS X design to create what’s probably the simplest comic reader around. This is usually the version I use and they should be fairly safe to use but there is always a chance something is broken, but it is the fastest way to get the new features. You can find the development builds in a separated repository. Let us know if you need any help with the building process. Would you like to see a package for your distro?
