You can now stream movies and TV shows directly on a torrent website and right onto your Web browser. The Pirate Bay, one of the most popular torrent websites, has adopted Torrents Time's technology to allow its visitors to stream the files inside a torrent with just one click.
For those unfamiliar, Torrents Time is a light plugin or extension for compatible browsers on Windows and OS X. Once installed, it allows users to stream media files. The Pirate Bay has embedded Torrent Time's feature into its website to allow its visitors to stream torrent files without having to download a dedicated BitTorrent client and waiting for the download to finish. Called 'Stream It!' the feature is currently marked as beta.
It is similar to Popcorn Time, a contentious service that allowed users to stream torrents using an app. The only difference, however, is that you don't need a separate app as long as you have the aforementioned plug-in installed on your Web browser.
The feature works on Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox among other popular Web browsers on Windows and OS X platforms. You won't be able to play it on Microsoft Edge, as Microsoft's new Web browser doesn't support Web browsers plugins just yet.
