1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: The tools to make Netflix work better for you. What's

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: going on? I'm Rich Demiro, this is Rich on Tech. Well,

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: maybe it's just me, but pretty much any conversation I

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: have these days somehow ends up on one of two topics,

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: the iPhone or Netflix. These are two pretty big forces

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: in our lives. And I'm on this new thing where

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: I sort of refuse to pay six dollars to rent

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: a movie on iTunes. I'm already paying fourteen dollars a

9
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: month for Netflix's Top plan, which includes four screens at

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: a time, HD and Ultra HD, and the ability to

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: download videos on four phones or tablets, which, by the way,

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: I've maxed out. Mix that with the forty dollars a

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: month I'm paying for DirecTV Now and the ten dollars

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: a month for YouTube Premium, and I don't want to

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: pay for any more TV shows or movies, which is

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: why I'm trying to make the most out of my

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Netflix membership and do my best to avoid what generally

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: happens on a Friday night, which is you spend more

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: time trying to find something to watch on Netflix than

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: you actually do watching Netflix. Keep in mind, I'm not

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: binging shows, so movies are really the only thing that

22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: I'm interested in watching right now. Now. I tell you

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: all this because there's a new Chrome extension that helps

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: you make the most out of Netflix by letting you

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: browse all of those so called secret categories. I did

26
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 1: a blog post on this a couple of years ago

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: and it went crazy viral. Basically, it was all the

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: secret codes that you can use to find all the

29
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: categories that Netflix puts their movies in. Well, this Chrome

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: extension lets you browse all of those categories. And when

31
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: I installed this, I realized there are a bunch of

32
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: other Netflix Helper extensions that you can really use to

33
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: customize your experience. Keep in mind, these are all extensions

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: for the Chrome web browser, so the way to use

35
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: them is to browse for movies on your computer, then

36
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: add them to your list on Netflix, and then you

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: can watch them on your TV, your tablet, or wherever

38
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: you watch. So let's get to that first one. It's

39
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: called Better Browse for Netflix. This lets you explore all

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: those secret categories on Netflix that aren't really secret, but

41
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Netflix does organize movies in a million different ways, and

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: this extension lets you search those categories and browse them.

43
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: So while Netflix might give you the ability to look

44
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: at dramas and then see a section labeled because you

45
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: added Million Dollar Baby to your list, Better Browse lets

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: you see everything that's available, including anime, action, anime comedies,

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: anime dramas, or classic dramas, classic TV shows, or classic

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: war movies. Then you've got the films based on a

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: book category, martial arts movies, monster movies, movies for kids

50
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: age two to four, or various other age ranges. And

51
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: this alone is great for finding movies for the kids.

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: Better Browse integrates right into the Netflix homescreen and it

53
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: is an extension I will be keeping for sure. Next

54
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: up an extension called super Netflix. This lets you customize

55
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: just about every aspect of your viewing experience, including this

56
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: speed that you watch a show in. You can go

57
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: from a halftime to four times faster. According to the description.

58
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: This can be helpful if a movie is slow, or

59
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: maybe if you're trying to learn a new language. Using

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: Netflix movies, you can also change the streaming video quality,

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: blur images, and episode descriptions so you have absolutely no

62
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: spoilers whatsoever. As you browse, you can skip those intros

63
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: and more. Super Netflix comes from a website called Subflix.

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: It currently has over one hundred and sixty thousand users

65
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: on Chrome. Next up, Netflix Party. This is a Chrome

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: extension that lets you watch Netflix with friends. Of course,

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: both parties have to have Netflix, but this helper extension

68
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: lets you watch remotely with friends by syncing up the

69
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: video playback and adding a group chat right next to

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: the movie, so you can talk about what's happening on screen.

71
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: I guess you could also dial up the other person

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: on speakerphone, but that might get kind of complicated with

73
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: the movie dialogue playing in the background. Netflix Party has

74
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: over three hundred thousand users. Next up, rate Flix. This

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: is super helpful. It shows you a title's rating across

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: various services right on the Netflix screen, so you'll see

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: ratings for Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, and Metacritic when available, of course,

78
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: and this can help you make much more informed choices.

79
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: The ratings are also shown on the playbar of the

80
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: title that you're currently watching, and you can even click

81
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: on an IMDb rating to be taken straight to the

82
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: page for that title. Again, this stuff is not going

83
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: to show up on your team, but you can use

84
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: these tools to search for things to watch on your

85
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: computer and then add it to your list to watch later.

86
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: And if you are watching on your computer, check out

87
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: an extension called Netflix Pause Removal. This is a simple

88
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: helper app that takes away that dreaded continue watching button

89
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: in Netflix. This way you can binge on forever without

90
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: any interruptions. There you have it, simple tools to help

91
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: you get the most out of your Netflix subscription. You

92
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: can find links to these Chrome extensions in the show

93
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: notes or on my website at richontech dot tv. Thanks
