Filler Check Extension 📺✅

License: MIT Quickly check if an anime episode is filler, canon, or something else based on data from Anime Filler List. No more wasting time on non-canon episodes (unless you want to!).

✨ Features

  • Quick Popup Check: Enter the anime name and episode number directly in the extension popup.
  • Live Data: Fetches data directly from Anime Filler List for up-to-date information (see disclaimer below).
  • Clear Results: Instantly see if an episode is Canon, Filler, Mixed, etc., with color-coded results.
  • Simple & Lightweight: Focused on doing one job well.

🚀 Installation

Note: This extension is currently under development. Official store links (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons) will be added if/when published.

Manual Installation (For Devs / Testing)

  1. Download: Get the source code (download ZIP or clone the repo if it's on GitHub).
  2. Unzip: Unzip the file if needed. You need the folder containing manifest.json.
  3. Load the Extension:
    • Chrome / Brave / Edge / Chromium-based:
      • Go to chrome://extensions/
      • Enable "Developer mode" (toggle switch, usually top right).
      • Click "Load unpacked".
      • Select the folder containing the extension's files (e.g., filler-checker-extension).
    • Firefox:
      • Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
      • Click "Load Temporary Add-on...".
      • Select the manifest.json file inside the extension folder.
      • (Heads-up: Temporary add-ons in Firefox get removed when you close the browser).

🤔 How to Use

It's super simple:

  1. Click the Filler Check extension icon in your browser toolbar (looks like the logo you chose!).
  2. Type the Anime Name (e.g., "One Piece").
  3. Type the Episode Number (e.g., "131").
  4. Hit the "Check!" button.
  5. Boom! The result shows up below (e.g., "One Piece Episode 131: Filler").

⚙️ How It Works & Disclaimer

This extension fetches the specific anime page from Anime Filler List and parses its HTML ("scraping") to find the info for the episode you asked for.

🚨 Important Disclaimer: Because this relies on scraping, the extension might break if Anime Filler List changes their website's layout or structure. This is the main limitation. If it stops working suddenly, this is likely why. Feel free to report issues if you find them!
