From my favorite tech site, c/net comes word that Chrome has an extension which helps you surf smarter on Netflix. It adds ratings from IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes so you can compare all three when looking at the film listed on Netflix. From author Matt Elliott,
Would you like to know what lazy looks like? It looks like me and my wife on a Friday night, worn out from a long week, lying on our respective couches in front of the TV after getting the kids in bed and cleaning up the kitchen, too tired to browse Netflix for something to watch. We are terrible at managing our queue, and many nights we don’t fire up a movie on Netflix because of the browsing and agreeing process it requires. The following Chrome extension may not help you reach an accord with your significant other during the movie-selection process (there’s Foundd for that), but it can help you weed out poorly received titles.

Thanks for this! I would never in a million years have discovered it but now I know I’ll use it! Thanks Philip!

You’re welcome Mark. I just installed it today and realized you only see it when you “roll over” a title, not when you actually click on one. After thinking about it, that makes sense since it’s an extension from the browser. Happy surfing!
