Let me add a couple 100 more to that count. Did you know that netflix doesn't support resolutions higher than 720p on windows/linux? You could subscribe to the 1080p plan (like me) and the players will stream 720p videos to you with no indication whatsoever. The only way of checking the netflix video resolution is `document.querySelectorAll('video')[0].videoWidth`. There are FF extensions but they don't work for every title.

The movie "Annihilation" ends with a very neat and slightly scary Mandelbulb animation... Very dope Burial-esque bassy soundtrack too [VIDEO]
