This Genius New Netflix Hack Lets You Binge-Watch Without Shame

Sometimes, you just need to spend an entire night mindlessly watching Netflix. So it's super rude when that message pops up a few episodes into your favorite Shonda Rhimes show, asking you if you're still watching. Yes, I'm still watching, and don't judge me for it!

You'll just breeze right through to the next episode.

Creator Josh Kirk, a developer with Third Wish Creative in Milwakuee, used the hashtags #lazy and #efficient when promoting the extension, which is exactly right:
