Seeing as some mangas title pages aren't necessary to some readers who just binge-read mangas, to lessen data concerns I feel like a feature in the settings to remove the first/last page etc. would be a welcome addition by the readers of the site.

I presume you're referring to the scanlator creditrecruitment pages that appear at the beginning/end of many chapter releases?
Since there's no consistency across groups (some have one page upfront, some have four pages at the start, some even insert them in the MIDDLE of a chapter, etc.), I can't see any simple solution in a page-remover feature.

To add to the previous poster, some groups don't even use a credits page, so this is a bad idea. Also, since a group goes through all the work to scanlate these chapters for us, I don't think we have the right to remove the credits from the work they do. Though I'm not necessarily against limiting the amount of credits pages, as some groups abuse this and add a ridiculous 4 extra pages to each chapter, which for some of their series outnumbers the actual pages of manga (I'm looking at you Isekai Nonbiri Nouka).

Yeah, uh, stripping credits pages, even in the name of "saving data", is an apocalyptically bad look
