Netflix IMDb Overlay
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Displays live IMDb ratings on Netflix thumbnails with customizable overlays.
Before watching anything on Netflix, I'd almost always open IMDb to check the rating. After doing that enough times, it became clear how unnecessarily annoying that extra step was. So I built this extension using PlugThis.ai (https://plugthis.ai/),to remove that friction by bringing IMDb ratings directly to Netflix, so I can make better viewing decisions.
This extension seamlessly overlays IMDb ratings on Netflix content, so you can instantly evaluate what to watch without opening new tabs or searching manually.
What it does?
- Displays IMDb ratings on Netflix movie and series thumbnails
- Automatically matches titles with the correct IMDb rating
- Works across Netflix browse pages, recommendations, and lists
Why install this extension?
- Avoid disappointing picks before you start watching
- Compare titles instantly while browsing
- If IMDb ratings influence what you watch, this extension brings that insight directly into your Netflix experience.
Designed for Netflix!
- Clean, minimal overlay that doesn't block important thumbnail details
- Feels native to the Netflix interface
- Lightweight and fast, with no noticeable performance impact
Privacy-first
- No account or sign-up required
- No personal data collection
- No tracking or analytics
Quick note:
The only setup required is getting a free OMDb API key. Just click "Get Key" on the extension and avail a free API key. Will hopefully get rid of that soon!

This extension is still a work in progress, and I'm actively improving accuracy, performance, and overall experience. Your feedback genuinely helps shape what I build next, so if something feels off or you have ideas to make it better and more useful, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks for trying it out, and for helping us make it better for everyone:)

- Isn't working for me. After entering the API key from OMDB, the cards on netflix shows "IMDB NA" for all cards
- Tushar Bagrodia
- Such a simple idea, executed perfectly. Seeing IMDb ratings directly on Netflix saves me so much time deciding what to watch - no more switching tabs or Googling mid-scroll. The overlay is clean, fast, and doesn’t clutter the Netflix UI at all. Works seamlessly and feels like a feature Netflix should have built themselves. Highly recommended for anyone who cares about picking good movies/shows without the hassle.

- This is a solid chrome app! I am a serious movie matcher, and I usually refer to imdb ratings to decide if I'd watch a movie or not. This plugin saves me a lot of time! Can we get one for prime video and hotstar as well?

- Works on main screen but not on search results.
