Onemanga

now i'm sure most of you out there have heard of onemanga. it is a website to read most manga out there online. and i must say, it is rather satisfying.

lets imagine for a moment that you have fast internet connection. not god-like internet speed but just fast. lets assume that your internet connection is 1 megabit per second.

if you live in Malaysia, 1 megabit is slowly getting common in any home. however, even with such a connection, visiting onemanga can sometimes be annoying. sure the pages loads within 2 seconds. but when you are reading something of suspense, 2 seconds can seem like a long time.

lets put this aside for a moment and talk about internet browsers. firefox, opera, and even chrome are common terms in the world of internet browsing. personally, i am using firefox 3.

as we all know, firefox 3 can support add-ons and extension. one particular extension i would like to focus on is greassmonkey. it is an extension that can run user scripts.

what does this have to do with onemanga you say? well, i have found a rather interesting script that allows loading All pages in a chapter to load in 1 page. so if you have fast internet connection, this may prove to be quite useful is saving your time

Steps:
1) if you are not using firefox, get it.


2) get greasemonkey


3) get the user script


4) try loading a onemanga chapter


after loading a chapter, you will see direct links to all the individual pictures (you can save them all into your computer easier if you want). click show all to show all. after clicking show all, it is easy enough to navigate between chapters. pages will be loaded under each other so just keep scrolling down to read the next page. each page is also separated by a thin line to avoid confusion.

this only works on onemanga though. i find it useful in the sense that you don't need to have multiple tabs to load a few pages at the same time. also, unlike certain scripts, it loads everything instead of pre-fetching only the next page.

what's great is that gressmonkey can also run other user scripts. find them here.

lastly, i personally have read Kamichu! and i find it quite relaxing. do read it if you have the time.
