I'm wondering if there is an alternative Netflix front-end or script/addon I can use to enhance the Netflix interface. I found out via justwatch.com that there are many more great movies I'd watch if I had ever found them on the vanilla site. It would be amazing to have a consistent front-end with categories and filters like on justwatch.com. Has anyone experience with this?

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I highly doubt it. Netflix has some of the most finicky and annoying DRM around.

Any kind of frontend would, if it even exists, almost undoubtedly have to be under constant maintenance and updates

Firefox can't even reliably get 4k video to play as-is (afaik it's been awhile so could have changed recently)

The "Trim" browser extension adds rotten tomatoes and IMDb ratings to most Netflix thumbnails... It's not much, but it helps me avoid some of the trash they push

The default stremio is just a cataloger for different streaming sites. There are plugins that people use to add some questionable services, but out of the box it just links to regular streaming sites like netflix, hulu or whatever else

Actually here's a better screenshot
