Show IMDB ratings Chrome Extension Analysis

Listing positioning

Show IMDB ratings is positioned as a simple, time-saving tool for movie watchers. It automatically displays IMDb scores next to movie listings and highlights highly rated movies (7.5 and above) in red. The listing focuses on offering immediate visual cues directly on the page.

Inferred product pattern

A simple DOM-injecting browser utility that relies on scraping or fetching ratings for specific page targets.

Review-backed pain points

The most significant pain point is the extension frequently breaking due to target site layout updates, which results in either missing ratings entirely or showing a score of 0.0 for all titles.

Observed feature gaps

Users have expressed a desire for customizable settings, such as being able to select their own highlight color instead of being forced to use red.

Support

Some reviews mention submitted support tickets that apparently received no response, indicating a lack of active developer support.

Reliability

Reliability is a major issue with multiple users over the years reporting that the extension breaks, fails to load, or shows scores of 0.0 for everything.

Privacy

No privacy or data security issues were mentioned in user reviews.
