Letterboxd Movie Assistant: Chrome Extension for Movie Lovers

The 'Letterboxd Movie Assistant' is a thoughtfully designed Chrome extension that adds an icon in the address bar when visiting IMDB film pages. Clicking this icon, a new tab opens, leading you directly to the Letterboxd equivalent. Please note that following the removal of the Rotten Tomatoes' public API, compatibility with Rotten Tomatoes has ceased. Enjoy seamless browsing and discover additional film insights with this handy tool.

It never works for any movie released in the past couple years. Basically abandonware, look into the Movie Linker extension for something that works

would love to add https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/* or https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/* for showing a letterboxd page

This: var re = /tt\d\d\d\d\d\d\d/i; needs to change to this: var re = /tt\d+/i; for the extensions to be fixed. Right now it doesn't work all of the time.
