Hate going to Netflix to be surprised and confused by all of the autoplaying videos and strange hover effects? Feel like you're out of control? Take back that control with Netflix Classic! Netflix Classic gets rid of all autoplaying videos on Netflix, forces the browser to take you to dedicated title pages for each video you click on, and, as a bonus, gets rid of the annoying Who's Watching prompt every time you visit the website. Enjoy!

Hi this doesn't work. I appreciate the creation and the fact it used to work but not currently for me! (Latest chrome). The banner is disabled but the hover states and previews still happen. Have you got an update planned for this? Peace

This feature has now been added by Netflix officially. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/2102 Thanks for making this addon. It was one of the most useful things and I appreciate that we get to finally remove the extension :)

Bertrand Pinet 2020-01-30

This is so good, thanks to you I won't cancel my Netflix membership ;)

Brandon Allen 2020-01-08

Sweet Jesus this is a God send. The most annoying feature that Netflix doesn't care that people hate by far. You are a true contributor to the betterment of humanity.

Does the trick; auto preview video on mouse hover is gone. However, the thumbnail still vanishes, so if your mouse is hovering over a title, you're suddenly left with a blank space on the page, which is a bit weird. Yes, I know, you can click through to get more information, etc.

Andrew Jefferies 2019-12-09

Thank you. Absurd Netflix doesn't provide the option to turn off autoplay but this app fixes that.

Anonymous 2019-12-09

Works as advertised, and then some. Blocks everything, including movies.

Mia Bentsen Blomberg 2019-12-03

YES! Finally!! Netflix should pay you for this, since I would have cancelled my subscription otherwise. Autoplay content is THE most annoying feature added to any streaming service.

Sam Mohyee 2019-10-29

The sweet sound of silence after a show finishes and you go back to the main menu... I didn't realize how much I missed it until this extension. Thank you, you noble person, for doing what Netflix was unwilling to do.

Ufomatix Lada 2019-10-14

its working like a hell! Netflix is quiet like never

Eric Low 2019-10-09

THANK YOU. Instant game changer. I hated even going to the Netflix site at all since they started the auto-preview bit. Thank you for undoing what Netflix should have never done... or at least giving us the option to choose!!

Max D 2019-09-25

Thank you. Essential. It's not that Auto-Preview is necessarily bad for the masses, I imagine some people find it useful, but it's that nobody at Netflix thought to give us a way to control it, so those of us who find it massively irritating could turn it off. So a big thank you, this extension makes netflix usable again.

Alexsha James 2019-09-17

Everything was great until the recent update. Now the extension doesn't work unless I give it permission to read my browsing history. Sorry, you don't need that.

Marianna Pouchert 2019-09-07

Gets rid of the worst part of Netflix. Thank you!

Aye Mossum 2019-09-05

Best thing freaking ever. Rage is finally subsiding.

Rhi V. 2019-08-14

Thanks for making this.

THEYTHEMBY 2019-07-23

I downloaded this after I started getting the stutter in Netflix on chrome. Removed the lag for trailers loading, even the lag that remained after getting Netflix Tweaked. 5 Stars from me just on that alone.(will update as the app gets better.)

Emmanuel Ogbizi-Ugbe 2019-07-09

Not all heroes wear capes.

Michael Drudy 2019-07-05

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1) The movie doesn't go right to play if you click on the picture. It brings you to the information page just like Netflix used to do. If you have a problem like that, then it's on your end, not the extension, so don't ding the developer of this CHROME EXTENSION with a lower rating. 2) The person who created this CHROME EXTENSION does not own Netflix!! They can't program it to do everything everyone wants...blame Netflix. 3) This CHROME EXTENSION does exactly what it said it would.do. 4) It's a Chrome Extension... not a full blown web application.

Kelly D 2019-07-01

This is perfect. I love it! It stops the stupid, auto-playing previews.

L Wills 2019-06-27

My sanity is once more intact. Thanks a millIon !

Daniel Cisalpino 2019-06-02

As so many already said: THANK YOU!

Ryan Cheung 2019-05-17

Holy Hanna thank you!

Mark Baylor 2019-05-04

Works as stated.

Andrew Wood 2019-04-24

App works as advertised - and vastly improves the Netflix experience.

Ali Öndoğan 2019-04-17

It works.

Tel Adl 2019-04-05

To whomever you are, thank you. A million thank yous. Extension works and I can finally enjoy Netflix on my computer in peace. Now, if only you could figure out a way to port this to Xbox and a Smart TV, the world would be complete. :) As a few others have noted, you won't be able to hover a title to get the description and info box, but if you click on it, the info will load at the top of the page. For me, this is an acceptable trade off. For others, maybe not.

This extension is incredible. It's light-weight, functional, and operates completely in the background; it's a set-it-and-forget-it kind of deal. It claimed to offer us the "classic" Netflix experience, and that's exactly what it does. So yes, if you use this extension, you will have to click on shows to get any info about them. And yes, often times the cover image for a show/movie will change... just like they used to in the old days. Fun fact: as a now-loyal Opera user, this extension is the sole reason that I even re-installed Chrome on this machine, and the reason that I didn't rage-quit on Netflix last night.

Kelly Young 2019-02-24

Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

Roux Viljoen 2019-02-21

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!

Melody F 2019-02-02

Love it.

Joshua Lowe 2019-01-28

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was about to cancel my subscription because of those stupid previews.

Robert Kenyon 2019-01-11

You are the hero that Netflix subscribers deserve and also the one we need.
