Essentials for KissAnime

Misunderstood and frowned upon by some and deeply appreciated by others,  anime is one of the most popular forms of animation and with good reason, since it tackles deep philosophical, ethical and moral subjects, and it offers complex character development, enchanting soundtracks, and impressive narratives.

Probably the most impressive thing behind the curtain of anime is the incredibly vibrant and very loyal community from all over the world. This translates, amongst other things, into lots of portals dedicated to this genre, including online streaming websites, one of which is KissAnime.

It's not exactly the most impressive platform for anime streaming, but it has gained a fair bit of popularity over the past few years, in spite of various annoying GUI elements. If KissAnime is your preferred place for watching anime online, then you will definitely love this handy Chrome extension, appropriately-dubbed Essentials for KissAnime.

In just a few words, it empowers you with the ability to enable or disable various elements on KissAnime. For example, with just a few mouse clicks, you can turn off the ads, remove the social media buttons, the comment sections, the banner at the top of the page, the quality switcher from the video player, and the Lights Off switch.

There are other neat, little features as well, that allow you to move the file names, the download links and the bookmark manager below the video player. Changing the header to one of the included logos, making it slimmer, adding a playback rate slider to the HTML5 player are also part of this extension's feature repertoire.

It's not just about toggling existing elements on or off since Essentials for KissAnime can also add various useful features if you do so desire. Take, for instance, the fact that it can also add a "Currently Airing List" to the homepage and a very handy "Pinned Box," as well.

To conclude, Essentials for KissAnime is a must-have Chrome extension for any KissAnime fan. The extension is quite effective at making the anime streaming website more usable and a lot less "laggy." If not for anything else, you should at least consider this extension for stopping the pesky adds.
