Since Netflix has finally arrived in Italy and since it is an excellent service to watch movies and TV shows on your PC or TV at very low prices that are worth subscribing to, it's time to see how to make the most of it. In this chapter we see the most useful Chrome extensions to improve the NetFlix site and take advantage of every potential feature in order to make it simpler or more complete.
NetFlix, in itself, is a perfect site, clean, very easy to navigate, without advertising, without uselessness and straight to the goal which is to let its subscriber choose a film to watch.
Chrome extensions add options to the site, allow you to browse movies more fully and have more control over playback.
We have at least 4 of the best tricks with Chrome extensions for Netflix to try.

1) Flix Plus is the first to try because it adds some useful features to the NetFlix web page.
After installation, when you go to NetFlix, you will notice the wrench icon on the address bar which is the button to open the extension's options. The most visible result is obtained by clicking on a film before starting playback, noting how many icons appear under the title to search for that film on Wikipedia, on Google, on Youtube, on IMDB (the most famous judging site in the world) and others useful to know what film it is before you start to see it. Other interesting advantages are the button to watch a random episode of a chosen show and to hide the short summary of the episode, for those who do not want any kind of advances. Unfortunately, this extension is designed for the American version of Netflix so some buttons and cross-references are to American sites.
2) Enhancer for Netflix allows you to browse the catalog of films and TV shows using secret categories, i.e. lists selected according to the type and genre of film. It also has an interesting experimental function, to detach the video from the browser and always see it in the foreground. You can then read an article on Navigaweb leaving the viewing of the film in a separate floating window.
3) Netflix Party is a Chrome app to use to watch a movie with another person at the same time.
Practically the playback on the two computers is synchronized to the second so it will be as if the two people saw that movie on the same TV, even if they are miles away. You can send the link to a friend and we can see that film with him as if we were next to each other, in sync.
4) OttoPlay adds to NetFlix an interface similar to that of the TV Guide on televisions, for the choice of channels. For each channel it is written which film is broadcast and it is therefore easy to zap and choose what to see.
5) Netflix Skipper is a very convenient extension that works automatically to skip the introduction and the initials of the episodes of the show and also the eventual summaries of the previous episodes. The viewing of each TV series therefore becomes faster.
6) Super NetFlix instead adds more control buttons for the videos that appear in the upper right corner. The main function is to set a fixed video quality (while Netflix changes the video quality based on the connection speed detected).
7) Flix Assist is a fundamental extension for netflix that solves that annoying problem caused by the words "keep watching". In practice, it is ensured that this writing no longer appears, letting you watch the film or TV show in an uninterrupted, continuous and uninterrupted way.
8) Rateflix adds the ratings for each movie to Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB to Netflix.
9) FindFlix allows you to discover the hidden categories with which Netflix classifies its films and TV series.
10) Never Ending Netflix allows you to watch Netflix continuously without interruption for hours on end. The extension makes it automatic to skip the intro and final theme of each film or show and turns off the "you're still watching" message>
