Netflix Ratings Overlay removes the tab-switching normally required to check whether a title is worth watching. Hover over a Netflix poster or hero banner and the extension displays IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings in place.

What it does

• Displays IMDb ratings and Rotten Tomatoes freshness scores
• Supports both poster cards and the large hero banner
• Matches Netflix titles against OMDb results using a scoring strategy
• Caches ratings locally for seven days
• Handles Netflix’s client-side navigation and dynamically inserted cards
• Keeps the interface non-intrusive by appearing only on hover

How it works

A content script observes the Netflix interface, extracts title information, and positions the rating overlay. A Manifest V3 service worker handles OMDb requests, matching, caching, and rate limiting. Settings and cached data stay in chrome.storage.local.

Privacy

The extension communicates only with OMDb to retrieve ratings. It does not collect analytics, personal data, Netflix account information, or viewing history.

Try it locally

Clone the repository, configure a free OMDb API key, and load the unpacked extension from chrome://extensions/ with Developer mode enabled.
