Easy IMDb Extension

Easy IMDb

Simply highlight a movie from any page on the internet and right click. It's that simple, and easy! The data that will be returned is a movies/shows title, the rating of the movie/show, the year it was made, runtime, actors, genre, imdbs official rating, and the amount of votes the film/show has!
We collect ZERO user data and this is also completely AD free. I never had intentions to make money with this back in 2020 and still in 2024 have no desire to.
