Netflix's most annoying features solved

Netflix users can now enjoy a guilt-free binge-watch after a sneaky trick was released to help solve the streaming service's most annoying features.

A sneaky trick has put an end to the guilt of hour-long Netflix binge sessions.

Flix Assist, a Chrome extension, has solved the annoying pop-up that appears every three to four episodes that questions users: "Are you still watching ...?"

While the annoyance may seem pedantic, the soul-crushing reminder of spending countless hours on the streaming-service is not something anyone cares to acknowledge.

What's even more spectacular is that the quirky hack also removed the tedious 30 second countdown that leads to the next episode.

The trick has received praise from Netflix users who have deemed the creator a "hero" and applauded the app with five stars.

"Number one for droning through my endless netflix and chill fantasies. You are my hero," Andrew Strah commented on the review page.

"Another first world problem dropped off the list, life is good," Mike Allen added.

Because ultimately, no one should be judged for wanting to spend a day tucked under the sheets and watching Netflix.
