Title ratings:
- Support for this feature is very limited as data are obtained from external sources (https://omdbapi.com/ & https://query.wikidata.org/) that are out of reach
- Title ratings are turned off by default to prevent unwanted internet calls on background, this can be changed in configuration if wanted
- Many ratings may not be available or might be out of date, OMDb API may not find the title by name that Netflix™ uses when it is translated due to localisation settings, or many other reasons why it may fail obtaining ratings
- Due to limited number of calls that we can make to OMDb API daily, it is possible that ratings will stop working because we use this feature too much
- Once title rating was obtained, it is stored in local browser storage for some number of days before they get refreshed to reduce number of calls to OMDb API, so we can all enjoy this feature
- Currently, OMDb API provides ratings from Internet Movie Database (IMDb), Rotten Tomatoes (RT) and MetaCritic (Meta), if available
- If this feature will cause too many problems in the future, it might get removed
- If configured, users can define their own API key to make sure they will not share number of calls to this API with other users (Free API keys can be generated here: https://omdbapi.com/apikey.aspx)
Note:
- At any time Netflix™ can change/update their UI and make this extension not work or misbehave, extension will be updated to work with this new UI once the UI reaches developers and as Netflix™ updates are not rolled out all at same time this may take a while
Removed features:
- Touch screen disable - this feature caused multiple problems and never worked as expected, without possible fix
- Mute trailers on browse page - after Netflix™ GUI got updated, this feature no longer worked, it was also obsolete as Netflix™ remembers last audio setting for trailers you choose

Added way how to call an action when configuration changes per configuration item. Added option to roll credits before skipping to next episode.

Added way how to show changes from configuration before they are save (ex. live video features applying). Improved extension performance. Added implementation for news that is currently disabled for production environments. Multiple preparations for manifest v3 and few consolidations. Preparation for optional permissions, which will be unused for now as Firefox handles them in way it might not work with this extension.
7.0.1 - 2021.09.13 - Bugfixes. Added option to disable showing specific ratings sources. Added dependency system into configuration that clearly states which configuration is dependent on other configuration and its value, this is also shown in options and is enforced with highlighting dependency if conditions are not met.

TODO:
- General:
- Move as much styles as possible into CSS file and use classes instead.
- Note to self: Stop using styles instead of classes everywhere! Idiot...
- Start/Learn to use Promises instead of callback (ex.: load/save_configuration)
- Firefox:
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1413872
- Ideas:
- Mark last time ratings were loaded and shown, also mark if rating is already old (means rating value will most likely not be updated) and such ratings will not
be removed after fixed period of time but based on when it was last shown, not shown ratings are probably not needed.
Known issues:
- Manifest v3. Extension was already tested on new manifest except Firefox which still has not implemented it yet. Plan is for Q1 2022.
- Video features work on all browsers except Edge, in fact Edge will get completely destroyed if video features are used/enabled
and by completely destroyed I mean whole Edge turns black and starts flashing based on mouse location. This happens only when
hardware acceleration on Edge is enabled. Bug report was sent to Microsoft including step by step instructions, command and
video with diagnostic data.
