User Reviews

Users like Better Netflix for mouse-wheel volume control, its zoom/resize feature, active developer support, and general reliability. Recurring problems are the missing elapsed-time display, various zoom issues (centering, inability to zoom out, resets between episodes or after UI changes), and uncertainty about bitrate/full-resolution control.

Pros

Mouse-wheel volume control is popular and praised by multiple users.
Zoom/resize feature (ability to change video size) is valued by many users.
Active developer support and quick bug fixes; the developer responds and issues get fixed.
Overall usefulness and reliability — several users report it works well and is 'great'.

Cons

Elapsed time/elapsed timer missing or not showing (reported by multiple users).
Zoom-related problems: zoom can be anchored to the top-left, zoom out may not work, zoom resets when the next episode starts or after UI changes.
Unclear or lacking explicit max-bitrate/full-resolution control — multiple users ask whether it forces 1080p or supports bitrate settings.

Recent reviews

Love it but still elapsed time is gone only other add on offering it is not working please fix, I did see you answer someone a year ago saying version 1.9.5 fixed that but only version I can find anywhere including for chrome is 1.11.1 Update after answer: I mentioned Chrome because I checked the store version based on your review answer 1 year ago to see if it was FireFox I do not use Chrome. That being said your 1.11.2 fixes it and it is back working thank you so much, and there you go, back to where it should be 5 stars from 4.

I like it for the subtitle toggling (V). Even works when UI is disabled (different extension).

Is Better Netflix Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Better Netflix requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Better Netflix is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
