Re-watching a show on Netflix is a nightmare. If you want to clear your progress to get that "clean" start, you usually have to bury yourself in account settings and delete your viewing history line by line.

I got tired of it, so I built NFX Reset.

It’s a lightweight Chrome extension (Manifest V3) that adds a simple "Reset" button directly to the Netflix UI. One click, and the show's progress is back to 0:00.

What’s new since the last update:

Clean "Continue Watching": Instantly remove titles from your row without leaving the homepage.
Privacy First: No data leaves your browser; it just talks to the Netflix API locally.
Open Source: You can audit the code yourself.

I’m at 37 users right now and looking to hit 100 to get more data on UI edge cases. If you’ve ever struggled to restart "The Office" or "Stranger Things" for the 10th time, give it a shot!

Hi guys,

I noticed that Netflix makes it surprisingly hard to properly "reset" a show you want to rewatch. You usually have to dig deep into the account settings and delete viewing history line by line.

I built NFX Reset to solve this. It injects a "Reset" button into the Netflix interface that handles the API calls to clear the playback progress for specific titles.

Tech stack:

Manifest V3
Vanilla JS
Interacts with Netflix's internal metadata API

Features:

Reset individual titles to 0:00.
Clean up the "Continue Watching" row without leaving the homepage.
Lightweight & privacy-focused.

I'm looking for some feedback on the UI integration and if there are any edge cases where the button doesn't show up for you.

Thanks for checking it out!

Stop manually deleting your Netflix history – I made a "Reset" button.
