    Comments about Stremio as an Alternative to Netflix
    Comment summary: Many users find Stremio to be a favorable alternative to Netflix because it is free, ad-free, and supports various add-ons for accessing a wide range of content, including those not available on Netflix. While Stremio is praised for its ease of use and open-source nature, some comments highlight limitations, noting it as a streaming facilitator using torrents rather than a standalone content provider like Netflix. A few noted concerns about its compatibility with mobile devices.

    Add Torrentio with Real-Debrid to Stremio and it's the streaming program of your dreams. I've used it for years now and it's amazing.

    I've been using Stremio for years. There are occasional issues where a movie takes a long time to load because of low seeders, but there are so many add-on options and it's free. ??

    I think Tubi's selection is even better than Netflix, and so far the ads aren't excessive. I'm really happy it exists.
