Não funciona. Eu instalo a extensão e quando volto na tela de login, pede pra eu instalar novamente.

No esta mal pero solo es compatible con Amazon Instant Video EEUU. Utiliza los mismos subtítulos que las plataformas tienen y los transcribe en una pestaña nueva, sin embargo, me he dado cuenta que hay algunas partes omite así que te puedes perder de cosas. En mi opinión no considero que sea eficiente.
