What a shitshow to wake up to... Fuck Kakao Entertainment, may they kill themselves.
Replacements: Mangadeamon, Mangasushi, flamescans, Mangabuddy, Mangakakalot... Diversify your library while the dex extension still works. Some scans on those btw get updates before Dex does.
Edit: this company was registered in 2021... They definitely don't have a case as mangadex has been there longer than this and same with the extension. Fuck those greedy bastards, if you know someone using anything from them, give that person a educational slap.
Greed, thats all. They know that a non profit can't defend themselves against this bs. Hope someone shoots whoever made that decision. People have been shot for less...
I wouldn't endorse Mangakakalot, they had some involvement in the Mangadex DDOS/breach a couple years back. Not to mention unlike MD they're a scan aggregator, which basically means they take scans from other sites (like Mangadex) and slap ads on top of them.
The extensions of tachiyomi are ad free so i don't really care about that, but yeah there are a lot more to chose from if you want to avoid them (wich is totally fair, i don't know about the bad stuff they do or did, i just want to read Mangas on my E-reader)
