PanelPilot

PanelPilot is a focused reader extension for manga, web comics, galleries, and image-heavy pages. It turns supported websites into a clean fullscreen reading experience with convenient controls for navigating panels, pages, and chapters. Open readable images from the current page in a distraction-free viewer, move forward or backward, zoom in for details, drag enlarged images with the mouse, or enable automatic page advancement at your preferred speed. PanelPilot is designed for readers who want a smoother way to enjoy manga chapters, image galleries, and long visual stories without repeatedly scrolling or searching for navigation buttons. Version 1.3 adds optional reading history. When enabled, PanelPilot stores your latest page, zoom level, and image position locally in Chrome, allowing you to search your history and continue reading where you stopped. Sequential single-image pages are grouped as one reading session instead of filling the history with duplicate chapter entries. Key features: - Fullscreen reader for manga, comics, galleries, and image-heavy pages - Automatic image detection on supported pages - Manual training mode for pages that need custom image and button selection - Next and previous controls for moving through pages or panels - Optional autoplay with adjustable timing - Zoom controls for close reading - Mouse dragging to move around zoomed images - Keyboard shortcuts for faster reading - Dockable controls at the bottom, left, or right side of the reader - Per-site reader mode settings - Optional searchable reading history with one-click resume - Saved page progress, zoom level, and image position - Adjustable popup height and a full-page history view - Local storage for reader preferences and trained page profiles PanelPilot is built for a single purpose: improving the reading experience for manga and image pages in Chrome. It does not require an account, collect analytics, sell user data, or send your reading history and settings to a remote server. Preferences, trained profiles, and optional reading history remain stored locally in your browser. How it works: 1. Open a manga, comic, gallery, or image-heavy page. 2. Click the PanelPilot extension icon. 3. Open the reader directly, or use selection mode to train the page if needed. 4. Read in fullscreen with controls, zoom, mouse panning, hotkeys, and optional auto-advance. 5. Optionally enable reading history to resume your latest page from the popup. PanelPilot works best on pages where images are available directly in the page. Some websites may use unusual layouts, scripts, or protections that limit automatic detection. For those pages, the manual selection mode can help PanelPilot learn the main image and navigation buttons.
