Thank God Someone Made a Hack for Netflix

The link at the top goes to a Google Chrome extension that forces Netflix’s old layout. It will work as long as Netflix leaves the old layout accessible. I have used it and it seems to work great for the most part. Once you drill down into sub Genre’s it doesn’t work.  This has been fixed!

Oh and yeah you have to be using Google Chrome to install it.

But whatever it’s better than having to deal with the new Netflix layout. I can’t stand this new layout.

Stupid Netflix, the only reason why I haven’t switched to Hulu Plus is because Flash is much slower than Silverlight (Netflix uses Silverlight for its online streaming). I wonder if Blockbuster uses Silverlight…

Edit 6/12/2011

Last night I left a movie paused and went to sleep. When I came back it said to press refresh to reload the video because my session had timed out. usually I press refresh and pick up where I left off. This plugin stops that feature from working working. upon pressing refresh the page will continually refresh and keep adding “fcld=true” to the end of the URL. Something about the actual movie watching page causes this plugin to enter into an infinite loop of some sort.

But this is a minor annoyance since I shouldn’t be leaving the thing on overnight anyways.

    • Laura ja Heli, suosittelen tarttumaan tähän kirjaan, koska nämä runot ovat helppoja ja hauskoja. Heli, toivotan sulle hyviä lukuhetkiä Kun taivas repeää -kirjan parissa:) Toivottavasti ne Mustosetkin joskus tärppää!Kiitos Paula, Helmi-Maaria ja Leena runosuosituksista! Kotroon olen suunnitellutkin tarttuvani jossain vaiheessa, ehkä tänä kesänä on sen aika. Plath kuulostaa myös kiinnostavalta.Erja, Kukkiva maa on yksi minun suosikeistani: vähän koominen kaikessa hehkutuksessaan mutta ihanan elinvoimainen!

    • excellent points altogether, you just gained a new reader. What would you recommend about your post that you made a few days ago? Any positive?
