Pradeep Krishnan (ID: 00000035c9f74328) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/03/2023 At the current state of the plugins build, i would give it a 2 star. Even though I believe the UI changes are great. At its current state, its fundamentally broken. Since, you can't search (Think amazon removed the "search" dropdown menu. Now you are only able to search from the "Amazon Search UI" which this plugin removes. If this gets addressed in any future updates, i'll revisit and change the review to 5 stars.

Typhoon (TyphoonUnit) (ID: 000000b7c8868a33) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/18/2021 This extension extensively improved my experience using Amazon's Prime Video and would vastly recommend this to everyone viewing this, life has so much ease using this without the annoying features and dull animations of standard Prime.
