Netflix Enhancements

Netflix userscript that automates skip actions, manages fullscreen behavior, and removes low-value UI clutter like the games section.

Context

Designed for long viewing sessions where repetitive recap, intro, and outro interactions make the playback flow feel slower than it should.

Problem

Netflix still requires repeated manual actions for skips and fullscreen preferences, and some UI sections add noise without helping the viewing experience.

Solution

The script detects recap, intro, and outro prompts, manages fullscreen transitions, optionally hides the games section, and exposes settings behind a lightweight F2 panel.

Key decisions

  • -Focused on the high-frequency playback moments that users hit in almost every episode.
  • -Made interface cleanup optional instead of forcing a single opinionated layout.
  • -Used persistent settings so the script behaves consistently across sessions.

Key features

  • -Automatic recap, intro, and outro skipping
  • -Auto-fullscreen handling
  • -Optional games-section removal
  • -Persistent settings dialog with F2 access

Results

  • -Cuts repeated playback friction from binge sessions.
  • -Shows repeatable automation on a complex streaming DOM.
  • -Pairs well with the Disney Plus and Prime Video scripts as a small suite.
