This has been a fantastic year for Netflix in so many ways. The quality of the company’s original movies, series, and specials is now off the charts, to the point where we’ve lost count of how many awards Netflix won in 2018. The service’s subscriber numbers continued to grow despite a recent price increase at the end of the year in 2017, and Netflix is showing no signs of slowing down in 2019. On the software side of things, Netflix also rolled out a number of nice updates this past year, which is nice because app interfaces might be the only real complaint some people have about the service.

With Netflix’s latest user interface, it’s much easier to access key features like playlists and recent additions to the Netflix content catalog. Of course there’s still plenty of room for improvement, and in this post we’ll show you five different free plugins that will have a dramatic impact on your Netflix watching experience.

Because Netflix is so popular, it gets plenty of attention from third-party developers. It’s impossible for a company to cater to all of its users, of course, so third-party developer support means people can enjoy new features that are important to them without disrupting or altering the user experience for everyone else.

Google’s Chrome web browser is the world’s most popular browser, so people when you’re not watching Netflix in an app you’re likely watching in Chrome. Thanks to Google’s fondness of open source projects and the Chrome Web Store, there are a bunch of great Chrome extensions that add all sorts of awesome functionality to enhance Netflix browsing and streaming.

Below, you’ll find five free Chrome plugins that every Netflix user should check out. We’ve got everything covered from Never Ending Netflix, which lets you do things like eliminate the “are you still watching?” prompt and stop previews from autoplaying, to Netflix Party, which lets you sync up with friends around the world and watch Netflix movies or shows at the same time. You’ll find all five extensions below along with their descriptions from the Chrome Web Store.
