Let the algorithm be your Sherpa, or, if you're feeling rebellious, set off on your own course!

The Browse Tab is your treasure map, bursting with categories and genres. Want a swashbuckling pirate adventure? A laugh-out-loud comedy to tickle your funny bone? The Browse Tab holds the key! Here's a pro-tip: Don't be afraid to get specific! Delve into subcategories and collections to unearth hidden gems.
Here be Monsters (or Maybe Just Bad Recommendations)
