Severus M (ID: 0000004588fc5c06) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/14/2014 It is a fun extension so far. I really like it. But it would be really helpful if you could set a country for which Amazon Website to search for the movie. Since I'm not from the US I would really like to search Amazon for our country since we have a pretty different Instant Video Content.

Stuart Hicks (ID: 000000ee04ccc0f4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/21/2014 Does exactly what it says on the tin. That said, if I could ask for one extra feature it would be to have a setting to let me limit the films' age ratings (so potentially awkward images don't popup at work, for example).
