Why Were Tachiyomi Extensions Removed?

Recently, the developers of Tachiyomi announced they are no longer supporting or developing extensions directly within the app. This decision was likely made to:

  • Avoid copyright issues.
  • Protect the app from takedowns.
  • Ensure long-term sustainability of the project.

This announcement was shared via their official Twitter account. Although official extensions are gone, you can still manually add them using repositories.
