## Description

**Netflux** is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your Netflix streaming experience by enabling higher quality video and audio options, including 1080p resolution and 5.1 surround sound. Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, Netflux allows you to customize playback settings on the fly using a sleek, intuitive drop-down interface.

## Review summary

Users overwhelmingly report the add‑on restores Netflix 1080p, boosts bitrate/quality, and works well on various Linux distributions and Firefox-based browsers (some report 5.1 audio). A minority report occasional playback errors or failures to force higher resolution right away, and some users only noticed improvements after time.

### Pros

- Enables true 1080p playback on Netflix (confirmed by Netflix debug overlay)
- Noticeably improves video bitrate and overall picture quality
- Works well across multiple Linux distributions and Firefox-based browsers
- Adds/enables 5.1 audio for users who previously couldn't get it

### Cons

- Occasional playback issues reported (e.g., 'Pardon for the interruption' e100) when the add‑on is enabled
- Some users still see reduced resolution after reload (e.g., 960×540) or need extra steps to get 1080p
- Quality gains may not appear immediately for every user—some report it took time to notice improvements
