Use These Add-ons To Watch Movies & Shows With Your Friends

Staying socially isolated is quite difficult for humans. Although, we have multiple series and movies to watch but watching them with our friends and family made the experience better. You cannot meet your friends, but you can spend some online quality time with them using the video conferencing apps, or you can watch movies and shows together using a number of add-ons. Using these add ons as your Chrome or other browser extensions, will let you stream services from Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO, and more with your friends and family.
