Review Summary
The 'New Netflix 1080p' Chrome extension is praised for reliably enabling 1080p video quality and restoring 5.1 surround sound on Netflix, significantly enhancing viewing quality for many users, especially on Linux and browsers like Brave. However, it exhibits inconsistent functionality, failing on some titles or browsers and not always delivering 5.1 audio. Users also desire support for higher resolutions and other platforms. Overall, it remains a popular fix for Netflix's downsampling issues, despite some limitations and occasional bugs.
