The way Tachiyomi worked is that it used specially written extensions to automatically connect to different web sites that provide access to manga and download from them. I mean simply saying it worked kinda like web browser except if you had to download search engines yourself. And in that comparison any legal threats against it looked very dumb. Like someone said "If Warner Bros sued Google Chrome because it gives access to piracy sites". With last update they even completely removed direct access to download these extensions and instead you have to manually provide link to third-party repo with them. I really thought that big change would safe Tachiyomi from any legal trouble for a long time
- Vastlyblank1 3y ago"Warner sues google" honestly it's more like the police raid a drug cartel but only take the shelves away - you've made it more difficult to organize my shit but you better believe nobody is going to suddenly not get their hands on the goods
- iKlsR 3y agoI had an old fire tablet that I used exclusively for tachiyomi for years with thousands of webtoons and managa and the newer versions stopped working on it so I effectively did the same but I just paid for a proper scraping service instead of rolling my own useragent/cloudflare/bot evader solution and use my myanimelist and a json file to pull latest stuff couple times a day and send a telegram message so I know what I can read at nights. All this sits on a private $7 droplet and a dead simple flutter shell to list and set the reading type and order (ltr, single scroll) etc... love it.
