Spoiler-free IMDb Extension

Sick of having IMDb tell you exactly how many episodes an actor was in?

If that weren't bad enough, IMDb likes to throw the top rated episode summaries in your face, when you go to a show's page. If you aren't caught up on a show, it is very easy to having something spoiled for you.

Spoiler-free IMDb will make sure you don't see the episode count for anybody on the show, whether you're looking at a TV show page, or the actor's page. We also hide the top rated episode summaries completely.

If you want to see spoilers on a specific page, just click on the icon in the URL bar, and click \"Display spoilers for this page\" and the page will refresh, and display all details, including any potential spoilers.
