Out of curiosity:<p>The extension makes API requests to <a href="http://www.omdbapi.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.omdbapi.com/</a> for its data.<p>The free API key only allows 1,000 req/day but you apparently only need to spend $10/mo for unlimited queries: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=5038490" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=5038490</a><p>I've never seen Patreon used as a storefront like this. Kinda interesting because Patreon also gives you a UI for capturing other types of sponsorships.
An aside to the extension itself, but this makes me nostalgic for the days when browser extensions like this were commonplace. Today I don't even watch Netflix through a browser (I have a Roku and Android TV at home, and will very rarely watch on my iOS phone), and this kind of project simply isn't possible there.<p>I do understand the reasons why this is the case and don't have any proposals for how it could be meaningfully fixed, but still, I miss that bygone era of customisation.
I've been using RateFlix for a while now - haven't seen many issues as of yet. I love these type of ideas. When you add Rotten Tomatoes, I'm totally in to use!<p>1. Movies and TV shows will show an IMDb™ rating next to wherever you would typically see a Netflix™ rating, and additionally will be shown on the play bar of what you're currently watching as well as next to each listed episode when browsing episodes of a TV series<p>2. Rotten Tomatoes™ and Metacritic™ ratings will also be displayed in the same way, but currently only for movies<p>3. Clicking on an IMDb™ rating will open the IMDb™ page for that movie or TV show in a new tab<p>For Chrome only

Neat! I always end up doing the google search to check out IMDb/RT ratings.<p>Another nice to have is the number of reviewers - I've noticed that some of these movies have high ratings early on (potentially from crew/cast/fans) but then slowly drop to the mean as more people review the movie.
I like how you scoped perms to only affect netflix.com and omdbapi.com. good job! Usually when I hit install and see "read and modify your data on all sites" I go straight to nope!
I think it would be cool if this was generic enough to show Rotten Tomatoes user ratings as many people nowadays find it to be a better indicator. I hope you repurpose it someday!
I really like Taste.io's movie and TV recommendations. Having just reviewed a few movies on the site, it has given me better and more unique recommendations than Netflix or Amazon ever have.<p>Their site also shows whether the movie is available on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, or HBO and will deep link to the other sites. I'm not sure what Taste.io's business model is.<p><a href="https://www.taste.io/" rel="nofollow">https://www.taste.io/</a>
For me, the most useful feature of Netflix is the custom ratings it provides. They're almost always absolutely spot on, with the exception of "Netflix Originals" which seem to be bumped up a bit.<p>I'm curious why something like IMDB is useful for people. I would much rather get a metric related to what I, personally, might like, rather than what the majority likes.
This is a cool idea. But worked once - did'nt work for a LOT of titles i tried. Seems to be some bug.<p>Friends -

Love it!<p>Bug:<p>- Does not show the rating for all movies. Examples:<p>-- <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80189213" rel="nofollow">https://www.netflix.com/title/80189213</a> (empty)<p>-- <a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/70136120" rel="nofollow">https://www.netflix.com/title/70136120</a> (N/A)<p>Feature requests:<p>- Show "IMDB rating" right away and a spinner while you're fetching the data from the API call.<p>- Let me click on it and go to IMDB to see more information
