Netflix added an option to turn off the autoplay previews on its browsing page Thursday, according to a Twitter post. (Adweek)
Netflix has provided the option to disable autoplay of the next episode in a series since 2014, but this new setting will give viewers the chance to browse the homepage in peace, without interruptions from a bevy of content vying for their attention. (Variety)
