best browser extensions for rating movies, music & games in 2026.
one-click verdicts on 15 media sites without switching apps. rankd vs IMDb built-in vs Letterboxd vs manual tracking — compared honestly.
the problem with built-in platform ratings
- IMDb ratings show the crowd's score — not yours. You can rate on IMDb, but the widget stays inside IMDb only.
- Letterboxd is great for films, but you need to open it separately and it doesn't cover music, games, books, or anime.
- Trakt and similar trackers require an account, login, and separate tab navigation just to log a watch.
- Spreadsheets and Notion are powerful but require discipline you don't have at 11pm after finishing a film.
- No single extension covers all media in one quick widget — until rankd.

verdict by use case.
casual media consumer
rankd
you watch films, listen to albums, and read occasionally. rankd drops a widget wherever you already are — IMDb, Spotify, Goodreads — and you log one verdict in one click with no separate app to open.
serious film buff / Letterboxd user
Letterboxd + rankd
Letterboxd wins for film community, reviews, and lists. rankd adds in-page quick-verdict on Letterboxd pages themselves, and handles your music and games tracking so you don't need three separate apps open.
data-driven watch tracker
Trakt or Simkl
if you want detailed watch history, Plex scrobbling, and stats dashboards, Trakt is purpose-built for that. It doesn't help with music or books, but for TV/film-only deep tracking it's excellent.
