Netfix Extension

This extension changes the interface of Netflix for the better!

On all pages:
- Movies and TV Shows go to their info pages rather than auto playing.
- Ratings are shown inline!

On the homepage:
- Bad recommendations and rated items are hidden.
- Slow sliders are replaced with fast dropdowns.

0.0.3 bug fix update: Netflix was throttling this extension for too many requests, so the logic has been switched around a bit. Requests are smaller, and the homepage will not direct you to specific genre pages rather than load all the movies at once. On the bright side, it should load much faster.
0.0.2 update: options page! Choose which features to use, and what ratings to hide.

This extension is not affiliated with Netflix.
