About

#StreamOrSkip
StreamOrSkip is a modern, premium browser extension designed to eliminate decision paralysis while browsing your favorite streaming networks. It seamlessly overlays movie, series, and anime ratings directly onto video poster images, allowing you to decide what to watch at a single glance.

🌟 Key Features
Multi-Platform Integration: Automatically inserts contextual rating overlays directly onto titles as you browse supported streaming services and major video-on-demand platforms.

Comprehensive Rating Sources: Supports an aggregated range of trusted review platforms:

🍅 Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer & Audience scores)

🎬 TMDb (The Movie Database score & vote counts)

🌐 IMDb (User ratings & votes)

🟢 Metascore (Metacritic)

🌸 AniList & MyAnimeList (MAL) (Average scores & URLs for anime content)

Performance-First Design:

Intersection Observer API: Only queries and processes titles currently visible on your screen, minimizing network requests and keeping scroll performance buttery smooth.

Shadow DOM Badges: Badges are injected inside an isolated Shadow DOM, preventing host page CSS stylesheets from breaking badge layouts.

Smart Offline-Ready Caching:

Dual-level cache (chrome.storage.local) storing results for 30 days before requiring a revalidation check, and automatically evicting unused items after 90 days.

Canonical mapping: Redirects duplicate or alias searches across different platforms to a single shared record.

Automatic cleaning of expired cache via a background alarm running every 6 hours.

Customization & Control:

Toggle Rating Sources: Turn individual rating providers on or off depending on your preference.

Site Management: Easily toggle the extension's behavior on a per-site basis.

Hover-Only Mode: Display badges only when hovering over a poster image for an ultra-clean user interface.

Instant Search Popup: Manually search ratings for any movie, series, or anime directly through the extension's popup search bar.

🔒 Privacy & Security
StreamOrSkip values your data privacy:

All requests sent to the backend service are entirely anonymized; no personal details, accounts, browsing history, or IP addresses are tracked or stored.
