Secret Netflix Codes to Look Out For!

As we all have gone into lockdown due to the outburst of Covid-19, Netflix has become our best friend! Netflix is a veteran in the realm of streaming services. The service houses movies, documentaries, and binge-worthy original shows like Stranger Things, The Crown and Mindhunter. To help subscribers sort through thousands of options, Netflix uses recommendation algorithms to highlight shows and movies that match your profile's viewing history. 

But your preferences might be a bit more specific than trending titles, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or award-winners. Depending on what you've watched, Netflix's recommendation algorithm might've buried the perfect movie or show. If so, Netflix codes can help you filter through the onslaught of content to find more interesting recommendations than the usual fare. 

Netflix codes are based on a number system the service uses to categorize films and shows by genre and subgenre. Unfortunately, the codes can only be used on the Netflix website, not in the app.

The easiest way is by installing the Better Browse for Netflix extension for Chrome. Here's how:

• Go to the Chrome Web Store and search "Better Browse for Netflix.
• Click Add to Chrome
• Click Add Extension. 
• Log into your Netflix account in a new tab.

At the top of the Netflix home screen, you should see a new option -- Browse All -- next to My List. Click that to search manually or scroll through the subgenres available.
