When you click "Like Posts": 1. The content script finds all unliked posts currently on the page. 2. It sends each post ID to the background worker. 3. The background worker calls the AniList API to like it. 4. The content script updates the page UI and moves to the next post. Rate Limiting: AniList allows 90 likes per minute. The extension automatically tracks this and pauses when necessary to keep your account safe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEVELOPMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No build step needed — it is written in plain JavaScript. 1. Clone the repository. 2. Open chrome://extensions in your browser. 3. Enable "Developer mode" (top right toggle). 4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the project folder. To apply changes during development, click the reload icon on the extension card.
