Recent reviews
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.
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.
