Niche Lifestyle & Gaming HacksChrome extension ID: olimcenppncifgiahopimblidefpdffi
This browser extension modifies the appearance of profile avatars on Netflix and other streaming platforms locally within the Chrome browser. It does not actually change account settings on the streaming platform's servers, meaning changes are device-specific and invisible on smart TVs or mobile apps.
