How to Stop Netflix's Annoying 'Are You Still Watching?' Prompt

Like many avid Netflix viewers, I've grown frustrated with the constant "Are you still watching?" interruptions during binge sessions. This prompt serves its purpose for some but feels like an unnecessary nag for dedicated fans.

Fortunately, there's a straightforward fix: the Flix Wizard Chrome extension. As a tech enthusiast who's tested numerous streaming tools, I recommend it for seamless viewing.

How to Stop Netflix s Annoying  Are You Still Watching?  Prompt

This lightweight extension excels at two key tasks:

  • Eliminates the "Are you still watching?" message entirely.
  • Removes the episode countdown timer for uninterrupted autoplay.

While the timer removal might seem minor, it adds up during long sessions, letting you immerse fully in your shows.

Keep in mind, this works only in Chrome browsers—not on streaming devices, smart TVs, or other platforms.

Quick note: Netflix has ramped up VPN restrictions to comply with content licensing. For full library access regardless of location, tools like Smartflix can help bypass geo-blocks effectively.
