FLIN Extension

Glorious extension formerly known as \"Netflix Popout\" is back!

FLIN is a simple extension that adds a button to Chrome which opens Netflix in a popout window, thus making it it's own neat, clean and minimalistic \"player\".


Version 1.0 brings with it new settings menu which allows you to run FLIN in \"always-on-top\" mode, due to popular demand.


FLIN was taken down from Chrome store when Google updated it's policies regarding extensions and since I was using \"Netflix\" in the name and white 'N' on red background for icon I got hit as well, but now we are back with slightly retarded name and a new icon.
