Marius I. (ID: 00000014f8122ad1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/01/2024 I like that I don't have to click Skip Intro or wait for next episode. Had to spend a couple of days with it off (a bug that was quickly solved!) and was really bothered by Continue Watching or intros. Edit: changing my rating because after 2+ years it still jumps over Recaps (with the option off) and I have to constantly disable it when going back to a show. It should be so easy to check a button text and don't "press" it, why is this not fixed?
