Netflix has Skip Intro and Recap buttons to bypass opening themes and jump straight to the episode content, but this feature may be inconvenient for you. However, you can delete the Skip intro or Recap button completely, and initiates automatic playback of the episode sans the intro. All you need is to install the “Netflix Extended” for Web Browser on your PC or laptop.

Netflix Extended is a tool designed to enhance your streaming experience by offering features like skipping intros, recaps, and fast-forwarding to the next episode. Notably, it is currently one of the working solutions available for skipping intros at the time of writing. The extension allows you to enable and disable skip intros right in the Netflix player and removes the skip intros button from the Netflix player.

What is Auto Skip Intro extension?
An alternative extension that deserves attention is “Auto Skip Intro,” which is popular and often discussed in other articles dedicated to this topic. It is important to note that after installing this extension, I had an unsuccessful personal experience with it. The extension simply did not work, I still saw the skip intro button.
It’s possible that the extension I encountered is outdated. If you want to explore this option, try installing it. The developer may release an updated version. The installation process of this extension is similar to that of the Netflix extension, which makes it user-friendly.

Unfortunately, the intro skip feature is not currently available on the Netflix TV app or through your TV browser. Unlike on a computer, where browser extensions can be employed to facilitate auto skip intros, this functionality is not directly available on TV browsers.
The easiest way to automatically skip Netflix intros on TV is by connecting your laptop or PC and using Netflix Extended in the browser. This approach allows you to enjoy your Netflix content on the TV screen while benefiting from the automatic intro-skipping feature provided by the extension.
How to auto skip Netflix intro on Android
On Android devices, there is no way to skip the intro on Netflix automatically. This is similar to TVs. You cannot install browser extensions on your phone to implement this feature. So, the one way to enjoy auto skip intro functionality while watching Netflix is by using your PC or laptop.
