Review summary

Subadub is handy for language learning: it adds readable subtitles you can copy, paste, and export as .srt, works alongside Netflix subs, and includes a useful S keyboard toggle. It’s actively maintained. However, it suffers from reliability issues, overlapping/subtitle placement problems, and a lack of customization (e.g., no remember-settings, movable/resizeable text). Language availability can be inconsistent, and occasional bugs require workarounds like refreshing or switching episodes.

Pros

Enhances language learning by letting you view, copy-paste translations from subtitles, and export them as .srt for offline study.
Displays subtitles alongside Netflix's own subs and can be set to be readable with a large font and a black box, with easy selection and download options.
Useful keyboard shortcut (S) to quickly turn subtitles on and off for study sessions.
Saves subtitles easily as files, enabling offline review and practice.
Maintains compatibility with Netflix UI updates and receives quick fixes/updates when issues arise.

Cons

Frequent instability and bugs: it stops working or fails to load subtitles, especially after Netflix UI changes.
Subtitles often overlap with Netflix subtitles and cannot be moved or resized, causing readability and visibility issues.
Lacks essential customization and remember-settings feature; resets or defaults on new episodes or idle time, plus inability to adjust size, color, or position.
Inconsistent language availability, with some languages disappearing or being unavailable in certain contexts or regions (e.g., Japanese options missing).
Occasional load/bug issues that require refreshing or switching episodes, and some UI elements may not display in fullscreen.

2023-04-06	My*****	Great, but slightly buggy as others have said. Being able to press "s" to turn on and off subtitles is awesome for learning a language.

2022-10-26	Sa*****	It's nice that this plugin exists, but it has a lot of bugs that just straight up piss me off. For some reason if you don't move your cursor text gets unselected which makes copying text a massive pain in the ass. Also most of the time you load up a new episode in a series, you have to select another languages subs, then reselect the ones you want just to get the damn thing to work.

2021-09-29	Fi*****	Does whats advertised but lacking needed features. Main problem is that the subtitles overlap with the Netflix subtitles. please make the subtitles movable. Subtitles look pretty bad would be nice if you could at least change the size. Interface doesn't display when in full screen which is rather annoying.
