Netflix fixes: movies go to pages instead of playing, removes sliders, shows ratings, and hides bad recommendations and rated items
What is Netfix?
"Netfix" is a Chrome extension designed to revamp your Netflix browsing experience. It lets you access movie and TV show info pages directly while preventing auto-play. The extension also seamlessly displays ratings on all pages. Additionally, it enhances your homepage experience by hiding bad recommendations and already rated items, and by replacing slow sliders with fast dropdowns. The extension also ensures improved speed with its recent updates to avoid being throttled by Netflix.

Extension summary
This extension changes the interface of Netflix for the better!
On all pages:
- Movies and TV Shows go to their info pages rather than auto playing.
- Ratings are shown inline!
On the homepage:
- Bad recommendations and rated items are hidden.
- Slow sliders are replaced with fast dropdowns.
0.0.3 bug fix update: Netflix was throttling this extension for too many requests, so the logic has been switched around a bit. Requests are smaller, and the homepage will not direct you to specific genre pages rather than load all the movies at once. On the bright side, it should load much faster. 0.0.2 update: options page! Choose which features to use, and what ratings to hide.
This extension is not affiliated with Netflix.
