Movie Ratings Browser Extensions

Monday, May 30th, 2011

The Movie Ratings Firefox extension has gone through many revisions over the past couple of years due to the changing Rotten Tomatoes HTML code. They recently released an API which will make the extension a lot more stable. Along with the Firefox update I have also updated the Chrome extension to be identical since Chrome is my primary browser. All comments regarding the extensions should be directed here.

Usage: Highlight the name of a movie, right click, and select “Get Movie Rating” from the context menu. If the name of a movie appears as a link you can forgo highlighting it and just right click on the link.

Supported Browsers:

Update: The extensions now support IMDb ratings.

Any updates will always show up on the Chrome extension first. Hint, use Chrome!

I created a stripped down version of the Firefox Movie Ratings extension for Chrome. It displays both the Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings for a highlighted movie and to top it off it’s a lot faster.
