NFX Reset 🎬

NFX Reset is a lightweight Chrome extension that brings back a missing feature to Netflix: A true Reset button.

Tired of Netflix automatically jumping to the credits or starting a show at the last 2 minutes because you've seen it before? With NFX Reset, you can clear your playback progress with a single click directly in the Netflix interface.

🛠️ How it works

1. Injection: The content.ts script (compiled to dist/content.js) identifies the current title on your Netflix page and injects a "Reset" button.
2. Authentication: When clicked, it retrieves your current profile ID from local storage.
3. Reset: The background.ts script (compiled to dist/background.js) sends an authenticated request to Netflix's internal API to clear the "Watched" status.
4. Refresh: The page reloads, and you can start your show from $0:00$.

🔒 Permissions & Privacy

We value your privacy. The extension only requests the minimum necessary permissions:

• cookies: To authenticate the reset request with your existing Netflix session.
• https://www.netflix.com/*: To modify the UI and add the button.
• https://web.prod.cloud.netflix.com/*: To communicate with the Netflix API.

No data is ever sent to us. Your Netflix data stays between you and Netflix.

⚠️ Note

Netflix frequently updates its interface. If the button disappears or stops working, please open an Issue.
