Legacy reader is officially retired from today.

Settting the MD@H port limit from normal to 443 did not help, i still get this double wide page with a small grey box with a ? in it.
Just see a chapter selection dropdownmenu with no options and the rest of the sidebar jumbled together below the small grey box.

@Silmoneus And if you try a different browser?

The legacy reader just stopped working for me, and I would like to suggest adding the ability to replace the page bar with a drop-down menu placed below the image itself in the space copyright info used to occupy under the legacy reader, with the following stupid reasons as justification:
1. opening up the sidebar, clicking on the page number, and then typing it in is slower than using a drop-down menu
2. the page bar becomes unusable when chapters become too long
3. I miss the tiny bit of margin at the bottom of the page that let me know I reached the end

aww legacy gone so sad

any ways what is it?

 

[deltarayedge]

Legacy reader had more stable preload settings. Very important.

Other than that nothing much. It had bugs from not being supported.

Interesting. dowloaded firefox's last version it allowed on this old device and it works on there, only thing is the browser feels lot slower than safari.

7+ Taskbar Tweaker to squish your thicc taskbar on the side 🤣

Ah, yes, me likes tweaky tweaky.
Is there any other alternative, preferably the one that is more advanced and have tons of options.

But why? The current reader sucks. Keeps on jumping to upper pages out of the blue when I try to scroll down. 😑

The option is literally there in Default Reader.

@comeonnow0, but it don't work on my 7" tablet PC, still have to side-scroll

@shiho You have swipe to turn page on, or touchscreen sensitivity. Turn those off and it'll stop moving pages when you scroll.

Was legacy reader that avatar you get after the default one?

 

[MrKawaii]

Legacy reader was great in fitting multiple sized pages without distorting the whole page. (i.e. 2-page image and 1-page would still fit without needing to scroll left and right)
+ images always fitted perfectly even if one of the images were higher in resolution. Now with |fit display to: Container, Width, Height, No resize" it's either too zoomed in or too zoomed out, nothing in between. At least on my 1080p monitor. Really wish I didn't have to zoom in and out via browser. A dedicated zoom percentage/adjuster that doesn't affect the rest of the site could really benefit this version of reader.

Have you tried this?

Set the [b][i]Max-container-width[/i][/b] to your liking.

Screenshots:​

Spoiler

The page in the middle is a 2-page image

(width 400 pixels)

(width 900 pixels)

I hope it helps.

The new default reader is great if you want to learn how it works.

7+ has quite the options, you know ) but other than that, I've only tried some more that add functions (like rocketdock, objectdock, ...) rather than an all-in-one tweaker. If you like tweaking, try linux, lol. It has so much more freedom for customization.
An example of my desktop 😋

@nyaasar

Have you tried this?

Somehow it works but in long-strip mode only. In single page it makes pics distorted. In 2-page mode erm... it shows 2 distorted and cropped pages LOL. Maybe it's an MetroIE on 7" display issue but if I'll set zoom for 100% instead of 125% then I'll get unreadable interface. There were no such problems with Legacy.
OK, mangadex is a longstrip site from now on.
*sigh* Reading for free and with no ads how dare I to complain? Hope that new reader will become as convenient as Legacy was, sooner or later.

 

[Someone777]

I don't know why they didn't just replace the legacy reader with a version of the new reader configured to look and act exactly like the legacy reader. I figure that would be simple to do.

@Yuu_Jin Can you post a screenshot of how exactly it's breaking?
