  UPDATE 2.0 CHANGELOGS
  1) IMDb & Letterboxd site integration — Stremio button now appears directly on IMDb title pages next to the title, and in the "Where to Watch" section on Letterboxd film pages.
  
  2) Google search icons — Stremio icon now appears next to both IMDb and Letterboxd results in Google Search.
  
  3) Quick Load Streams — New toggle that jumps straight into stream options when opening content, without waiting for all results to load.
  
  Improved
  1) Better search matching — Results are now ranked by relevance using title similarity, token matching, and release year. Previously just picked the first result returned. Also correctly handles titles that have both a movie and series match on IMDb.
  
  2) More granular controls — Each feature can now be toggled independently — knowledge panel, IMDb links, Letterboxd links, IMDb site, Letterboxd site, context menu, shortcut, and omnibox.
  
  3) Reliability — API calls now time out after 20 seconds instead of hanging indefinitely. Movie vs series detection is verified against Cinemeta before opening, reducing wrong matches.
  
  4) Various bug fixes and performance improvement. Most of the codebase was refactored.
