Works well but sometimes gets very confused. e.g. From IMDB: “Nope (2022),” the extension took me directly to LB: “Spandex Man 2007”. <?> Sometimes LB has no matched entry from IMDB, but that’s on LB, not this still useful extension.

I'd give this extension five stars if it supported activation via a keyboard shortcut.

Pablo Stafforini, 2023-08-09

please extend it so it covers imdb ID's with one more digit! Unfortunately I have to reduce my rating to 3 stars now. It's getting more and more annoying with these 8 digit titles since you refuse to update your program. MAybe you could hand it over to someone else who's willing to work on it to make it work with all digits. Thank you!
