Extension Usage Instructions
***This extension is no longer in active development. I do intend to come back to it at some point but I am very busy at the moment. Because of this the web server that host the list used for searching has been disabled so I have temporarily removed that feature from the extension.***
Adds features to xkcd comics. These include:
- Keyboard navigation (including arrow keys)
- Easy title text
- Better random comic selection
- A favourites list
- A search function (removed but will be added again later)

more detail about each feature can be found below.
All features are toggle able through a pop-up settings page and all settings are synced across devices using chrome sync.

n -> next
p -> previous
r/space -> random
e -> go to explain xkcd

Easy title text:
The title text that would normally be viewed by hovering over the comic is also displayed underneath for easy viewing.
Better random comic selection:
The random comic button will not take you to any of the last 1000 comics you have viewed on the device.
Favourites list:
All comics have a button added to add them to a list of favourite comics. This list can be viewed, accessed and edited in the pop-up.
