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!
