David Groß (ID: 0000005c7cd9ff1d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/21/2024 Thank you very much for providing this in the first place! Unfortunately I can only give 4 stars in the end because you never updated you extension to work for 8 digit titles. This has become a more and more present problem, so I will finally delete this extension after I think 5 years of use. I am already looking forward to the Movie Linker extension thats in the making, that will take over these duties. Thank you!

Alias Nineteen (ID: 0000004988264d6f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Works well but sometimes gets very confused. e.g. From IMDB: “Nope (2022),” the extension took me directly to LB: “Spandex Man 2007”. Sometimes LB has no matched entry from IMDB, but that’s on LB, not this still useful extension.

Pablo Stafforini (ID: 00000055d7944e5d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/09/2023 I'd give this extension five stars if it supported activation via a keyboard shortcut.
