TL:DR - This extension gives you the power to (1) prevent titles that you don't want them to show up anymore in your feed, (2) manage title lists, and (3) provides you with an alternative suggestion system to refresh your feed.

Motivation: Netflix is indeed working hard on matching your feed to your viewing preferences. BUT, there are few limits and caveats to this mechanism that pollutes your feed with many irrelevant titles. Those are -

1. Conflict of interests - As far as we observed, Netflix push titles you already watched deliberately. Why? It makes it looks as they have more to offer as if they wouldn't do so. Also if you watch titles more than once, they will need to produce or buy less content, right?
2. Netflix doesn't know everything - In some cases, Netflix Doesn't can't tell which titles you already watched. For example, if you watched a movie outside of Netflix, or you watched a series through your spouse's Netflix account. Those will keep showing up.
3. No real solution - You can say that hitting the "UnLike" button is a solution (it supposedly should hide the title in the future). BUT - it will mislead Netflix's mechanism to think that you don't like this title and it will not suggest you with similar titles, which might interest you.
4. Flat feed - except the built in "My List" feature. Netflix doesn't give you sufficient functionality to organize lists out of the box. We want to help with that.
5. You are locked to the Netflix suggestion system which is affected by your viewing history. Usually it works just fine but it can be annoying especially if your dear relative also uses your account and really loves cooking and knitting documentaries (and you don't, for example). It would be nice to get some refreshed suggestions that might surprise you.

So, we want to help with customizing your experience and to save you precious time when you scroll over the feed to find something you (and all the people with you) want to watch, without the need for external websites or apps.

The features we offer so far (and counting):

1. Click on any title to make sure it will not show up again. You do it by adding the title to a "Watched" or "Not interested" List.
2. Manage the lists mentioned above from the extension user interface.
3. Choose what happens when a title is added to a list - (i) make it black, or (ii) Give you another title suggestion instead, to refresh your suggestions.
4. Some viewing statistics derived from the lists mentioned above.

The possibilities are endless, and we already have more feature ideas to implement than time to pull it off. If you are keen to see this piece of software evolve and improve please consider to support us with a small donation through the "Buy me a coffee" platform.

DISCLAIMERS:

1. The Extension owners and developers are in no way associated with Netflix Inc.
2. For this extension to function at best, we included an optional sign-in with google so your lists are not lost if something happens to the extension (you switch browser or computer, for example). For this to work we need to save your lists and few minor details such as name and email in our server. WE DOESN'T USE THIS INFORMATION IS ANY WAY OTHER THAN SUPPORTING THE EXTENSION FUNCTIONALITY. Feel free to contact if you have any privacy concerns.

If you read so far, well, go ahead and try it. If you find anything wrong, broken, or just want to tell us what you think. Please leave us feedback through the dedicated feedback form in the extension dashboard.
