Here's how to get the old Imdb back
I followed these instructions and it worked on my chromebook.
Account Settings>Preferences>Content Settings>Contributors
Tick/check "Show reference view with full cast and crew (advanced view)"
If you go to imdb and are logged in, click on the drop down menu with the little person outline. Then follow Freds instructions above. It works perfectly, puts it back to just simple mode, no graphics:)
