Improve Your Netflix Game With These Chrome Tools and Extensions
Social distancing means that many of us are spending more time on Netflix. If any of this Netflix watching is happening on your home computer, then you should try these Chrome extensions.
The Netflix Party extension, which allows you to watch movies with your friends, got a lot of attention last week. It has been around for many years, but now that people are looking for a new way to watch and communicate, it has begun to spread again as a “new” tool.
Like Netflix Party, there are tons of other great Netflix extensions to look out for.
Flixable
If your Netflix line has started to run out, Flixable can help you find things to refill that are really worth watching. The site allows you to search for movies and TV shows on the streaming service by genre, IMDB rating, and release year. Once you get the results, you can filter them even more by sorting them by release year, rating, title, or when added to Netflix (useful if you’re looking for something “new” for you on the platform.
Better view
Netflix has already categorized its content, but there are also Netflix categories that you don’t see. Better Browse shows you all of Netflix’s “hidden categories” so you can refine your search even further than usual. For example, instead of Action movies, you can watch Action Comedy and Action Thrillers.
Never ending netflix
Tired of Netflix asking if you’re still watching during that booze browsing session? Never Ending Netflix automatically skips intros and credits for movies and TV shows, so you can skip straight to the next episode. It also removes pop-ups that ask if you’re still watching or not.
Lingvo
If binge eating prevents you from using your time at home to learn new things, Lingvo can help you do both . The Chrome extension is a combination of a Chrome extension and a web smartphone app. With it, you watch a movie in another language with subtitles in that language, which are displayed on the screen thanks to the Chrome extension and at the same time on your phone. When you come across a word you don’t understand, you can tap that word on your phone to get a quick definition without stopping your movie.
