I Won’t Watch Netflix Without These 5 Chrome Extensions
2 min read
Summary
Some Netflix users feel that the platform is missing certain features, and that certain functionalities have even been removed over time
Google’s Manifest v2 extension update killed many popular Netflix plugins, as developers haven’t updated their product to fit the new version of the extension update
A sister site to MakeUseOf called Pocket Lint noted that Netflix had trialled an integrated sleep timer on its Android app in 2021, allowing users to set a timer for when they would like the video to stop playing
This feature was never rolled out globally, but users can install the Sleep Timer for Netflix Chrome extension to achieve the same result
Netflix Skipper is a Chrome extension that allows users to skip introductions and recaps, and move on to the next episode of their programme rapidly
The Picture-in-Picture extension allows users to continue watching Netflix on a smaller screen, whilst using another application on their device
Another Netflix extension, Trim, features ratings from IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, and allows users to “fade out” movies with low ratings, whilst increasing the rating of higher-rated content
Teleparty is a Netflix extension that allows users to watch content with friends, whilst also chatting with them via a sidebar chat
