Show HN: Movie Trailer Popup – Right-click movie titles to watch trailers

I built this after wasting half a movie night copying movie titles and searching for trailers on YouTube.

The problem: I was browsing movies on a local streaming server that didn't have trailer previews. I'm not a movie buff, and with limited free time, I didn't want to waste it on a bad pick. The workflow was tedious: browse → copy title → search YouTube → watch trailer → repeat.

So I built this extension. Now you can right-click any movie title on any webpage and watch the trailer in a popup instantly. No tab switching, no searching.

It works even on sites that disable right-click (using Alt/Option + right-click), and has a manual search option via the extension icon.

Would love feedback, especially on: - Use cases I haven't thought of - Performance improvements - Feature suggestions
