Netflix Random Lag Spikes
When using Netflix, everything is fine at first. Then comes the lag spikes. Random lag spikes start happening about a quarter way through the movie. Sometimes they're sudden (5-10 seconds) and other times they are long (25+ seconds). This is really irritating because while the lag spikes are happening, the screen stops moving but the audio keeps on progressing, leading me to miss parts. Here is a list of my add ons: Bluhell Firewall, Dictionary Extension, Gmail Notifier, Omnibar, Private Tabs, S3.Google Translator, and WOT (website of trust.)
