Netflix
is, quite simply, a phenomenal service.
It’s
helped revolutionize the way we watch content, and has conquered the
smartphone, tablet, computer and TV.
Over the weekend or at the end of a long day, all you really want to do is fire something up on Netflix, sit back and relax.

better on your screen.

movies. Well now you can simply delete your browsing history by clicking here
and removing the title you don't want to see.

go directly to the hidden categories and genres that Netflix's algorithm is
holding out on you? Well, there is a way to find them! Here is the complete
list.

this busy world we live in, looking up at a screen isn't always an option.
However, you don't have to "see" you favorite show to watch it. Click
the subtitle option and you'll see an "audio" tab. Click
"English - Audio description" and a nice narrator will let you know
about all the visuals you're missing out on.

you're tired of Netflix asking you if you're "still watching?" or
perhaps you can't stand the 30 countdown delay between episodes, you can
customize all of that with a Chrome extension called Flix Assist.
10. Kick Off Your Ex
Many
people share Netflix passwords with their roommates or significant others. But
after you move away or breakup, you may not want to have all these people
mooching off your account. Luckily you can boot them out by going to: My
Account > Sign out of all devices. Just make sure update your password
afterwards.
11. Practice A 2nd Language
If
you want to practice your French speaking skills but you have no one to
practice with, you can simply put on your favorite Netflix show using French
audio paired with and English subtitles (or vice versa) to practice a different
language from the privacy of your living room.
