Description

The extension makes it easier for you to decide which movie to watch based on IMDb rating if you care about.

I often find myself in the situation I want to watch a new movie I have never seen but I dont want to waste my time and do the selection just based on a good cover photo or title. And I think that we all hate when we cannot choose a movie to watch in our short period of free time after an exhausting day at the office. Fortunately Netflix makes the choose easy for us because the browse page is full with better and better movies with good cover images. (No, its not that simple)
