Getting all of the codes gives you access to the site’s entire library — but doing it with a Chrome or Firefox extension is much more easy

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

It was found recently that all of Netflix arranges all of its videos by genre, but hides those pages away so that the collections and many of the videos are hard to find. But many of those genres are never shown to people — meaning that much of the site’s films and TV shows are hidden to most users.
They can be accessed by searching through the variety of sites that collate the different codes, and then adding them to the end of the Netflix URL. But they can be much more quickly found by installing an extension, named Super Browse.
Super Browse can be downloaded for Chrome or for Firefox.
That extension activates whenever it realises that a user has headed to Netflix’s website. It add another dropdown menu to the page, called “Super Browse”, which can be clicked and then used to scroll through all of Netflix’s hundreds of genres.
The list is alphabetical order, and includes all of the known genres, which means that there are hundreds to flick through. But the extension scrolls quickly and the genres can be found with relative ease.
Like the secret codes, the tool can only be used on the Netflix website and not on other hardware like games consoles or set-top boxes. If you want to find a film to watch on there, the quickest way is to use the Netflix website, and then take the name of the film you want to watch and search it on the app.
