Thank you! A simple solution to a VERY annoying feature.

I have been a customer since they launched and the one and only time I have contacted them was to bitch them out about not being able to disable this noise.

I don’t know who you are sir, or where you come from, but you’ve done me a power of good.
Where do I go to nominate someone for Editor of the Year?

This must be new. I’d swear that this was intentionally impossible to turn off in the past.

I remember my conversation with Netflix being much less magnanimous than hers. I believe there were disparities metioned about the UI design capabilities of some “cave dwelling script kiddies”.

For a long time it was. Thank fuck they finally have a way to turn this aggressively awful feature off.

For those who followed the instructions in their browser and found they didn’t work, as I did, here’s a tip.
I turned on Netflix via my Roku box, and the stupid previews still started playing. I swore a lot, gave it some thought, then unplugged the Roku and plugged it in again. I started up Netflix and the autoplay feature is now gone.
Why? I’m going with magic.

It was impossible as recently as last week, when I contacted their support to beg to fix it. You’re welcome.
