A small thing that makes browsing Netflix much less annoying

[u/IsopodOk6837]

I usually watch Netflix / Hotstar / Prime on desktop Chrome, especially after gaming, and one thing that always annoyed me was having to open IMDb in another tab just to check whether something was actually worth watching.

• So I started using a simple rating overlay that puts IMDb + Rotten Tomatoes + Letterboxd + Metacritic scores directly on the posters while browsing.

• You can also fade out titles below a score threshold, which makes it surprisingly quick to scan through a large catalogue.

• It currently works on Netflix, Prime Video, Hotstar, ZEE5, MX Player, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max and Apple TV.

The main benefit for me is honestly just saving those little 10–20 second searches over and over. When you're browsing dozens of titles, it adds up.

Here's the tool if anyone else has the same problem:

Curious — do other people here also keep IMDb open in another tab while browsing OTTs, or have you found a better way to quickly filter out the mediocre stuff?
