What's the Best Browser Extension?
Vol. 172: Pitch me too!
HelloZ
Well, Halloween is over and you know what that means: Mariah Carey is already filling the aisles of CVS with her epic holiday jingle. It’s too much, guys. Can we carve a turkey with Drunk Uncle first, please?
I’ve got some NewZ, one NEW story request (mascaras and lashes!), and an informative section on browser extensions.
I got a question last week about Mac browser extensions and thought it was the perfect round-up fodder for our first November post. These clever little add-ons can be a savvy shopper’s bestie…and a brand’s golden ticket. I’ve personally used some of these extensions as a shopper, and I’ve also helped clients on the brand side manage them as a service in conjunction with their affiliate efforts.
LFG!

Prime Video has launched X-Ray Recaps, a feature using general AI to create brief summaries of full seasons of TV shows, single episodes, and pieces of episodes, personalized down to the minute of where a user was watching. Pretty soon, they’re going to invent a way to put [all the content] into a syringe so we can inject it right into our veins.
Sting and Jennifer Hudson are joining the season 26 cast of NBC’s “The Voice” as Mega Mentors, starting Monday, November 11. It’s Sting’s first time on the show, and a return for Hudson, who served as a Coach on season 15. Story time: When I was a young publicist, I had to work the red carpet of an event where Sting was a guest. I met him at the beginning of the step and repeat and politely asked him to wait a moment since there was another celeb on the carpet getting their photo taken. Sting had no patience for this and very rudely told me “Oh, fuck off!” before walking past the red carpet and into the venue. I got in trouble for that later because according to my boss, I was somehow supposed to have made him wait his turn. Sting, if you’re reading this, that really stung.
Netflix renewed “Outer Banks” for a fifth and final season. The second half of season four of the YA series debuts Thursday, November 7. I don’t watch this show. Should I?
“Days of Our Lives” has been renewed for a 61st season. The soap opera ran on NBC until 2023, when it moved to Peacock. I remember vividly how this show played in the background of my caretaker’s house when I was 6 years old.
New HGTV series “Don’t Hate Your House with the Property Brothers” debuts Wednesday, November 13 at 9p. The series follows Drew and Jonathan Scott as they tackle seemingly insurmountable renovation challenges. Story time: Whilst trick or treating on Halloween last year, we walked past a home where there were two lookalike men standing outside chatting. One was dressed in a button down, tie, and slacks, while the other was dressed more casual like a Bob Vila type. I yelled out to them, “Hey! Those are amazing costumes. You’re the Property Brothers, right?” and they looked at each other, smiled, and told me the one guy just got home from work, but proceeded to laugh at how great my observation was. They agreed they really did look like the Property Brothers. And that’s my story.
Hulu ordered a 20-episode season two of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” The eight-episode season one premiere, which dropped September 6, was the most-watched unscripted show on Hulu this year.
