123movies.net
When you type in "stream online movies free," 123Movies is one of the websites that will appear on Google. This streaming service has a large following, and is well known for its streaming and downloading capabilities. However, before we begin, I want to make sure that you understand that 123Movies is different from Movies123. If you're looking for the same site as Movies123, you're not going to find it here.
The craze for free streaming
123Movies doesn't require you to sign in and force pop-ups in your face. You can stream any content you want without having to sign in. And that's the beauty about it. 90% of the streaming websites have annoying ad prompts forcing you to sign up, but that's not the case with this website. Sure, there are ads on the website, and while you're streaming, but there are no forceful pop-ups that you can't cancel.
How does 123Movies work?
123-Movies is a great site to use if you want to watch your favorite movie or video.
Design
This is followed by the featured movies list at the top of the page.
The 123Movies website has an interface that is very similar to FlixTor's interface. There is a teal color combination across the website with a light blue background. As soon as you visit the homepage, you can see that the publisher is hungry because you can see native blog advertisements right under the header. This is followed by the featured movies list at the top of the page.
Nonetheless, that's not a huge problem as everything that matters is either below or above that. In the head section, you will find options such as Movies, New Episodes, TV-Series, Genres, Year, Country, Stars, and Directors - an entire diversification listed in category format.
Use the categories and search bar
Now that the sorting is done for you, if you try clicking on a tab, you?ll be presented with a list of recommendations in each section. So, if you click on Movies 2019, you?ll be given over a dozen options comprising of the best movies released in 2019. Additionally, it has to be one of the simplest websites you?ll come across - which is perfect for those who are looking for an easy to navigate website.
Don?t click on the homepage button
If you cannot find the title, you can find the content by searching in the header section and scrolling down. But don't click the homepage button, because that will take you to another advertisement page.
Genre tab is really handy
With 123Movies, you can choose from a variety of genres to watch your favorite movies. This feature is found on premium websites, so when I saw it on this platform, I was impressed by the developer's effort.
Content
At 123Movies, you can stream movies free of charge. The best part about streaming on these online streaming websites is that you don't have to wait until the movie becomes available. You can find the latest movies and TV series right after they are released.
Blockbuster Movie titles
There is a vast amount of content available on 123Movies, with many different movie titles to choose from. If you hover over Movies 2019, you will see titles such as 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,' 'Joker,' 'Ford v. Ferrari,' 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,' 'Terminator: Dark Fate,' 'Rambo: Last Blood,' 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil,' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.'
Variety of Genres
Under genres, you can choose from 18 different genres including Action, Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Crime, Documentary, Drama, Family, Fantasy, Horror, History, Romance, Music, Thriller, War, Mystery and Science Fiction.
Hit TV-Series
Under TV series, you can find various shows such as "Chernobyl," "American Horror Story," "Family Guy," "GOT," "Grey's Anatomy," "Power," "Rick and Morty," "Silicon Valley," "Snowfall," "Suits," "Supernatural," "Riverdale" and South Park.
Desktop/Mobile experience
When it comes to free online streaming, users prefer desktop more than they prefer mobile, which requires these websites to have a responsive design. Each page, be it a homepage or an inner page, has to be well optimized to ensure that the user has the best experience. But let's get real. Almost every publisher's primary goal is to make money off ads. So, regardless of how good a streaming service claims to be, you'll witness a tornado of ads before, during, and after the stream, which you'll have to skip cleverly as it might carry malware.
Don?t take malvertising lightly
Malvertising is a security threat that can take its toll on your device if you click on ads on websites. Most websites try to redirect you to malicious sites, which can totally ruin your device.
123Movies App
Many people have come to love the movies app because of its popularity. I haven't tried it, because I don't want to risk my device. However, others have written reviews saying that there is no problem with the app and that you can stream the content right from your television or tablet using Roku or Kodi. That's a tempting offer, but it's not enough to convince me. A lot of it is due to my reluctance to use fake apps and malware.
Suggestions I have for 123Movies
I like what 123Movies is offering. Their general built-in player is great, but it would be even better if they reduced the number of ads and made streaming safer. Apart from that, it would be great if their website supported other players such as VLC.
