Could you build this?
Partial A browser extension with a UI can be vibe-coded, but reliably identifying filler scenes on Netflix requires dialogue and scene understanding plus playback control that Netflix does not expose through any public API.
What it would actually take: A real version would need transcript or subtitle ingestion, an LLM or classifier that segments episodes into story-relevant versus filler scenes, and a player-control layer, likely a browser extension that manipulates the playback element. The hard parts are the scene-importance model, which needs labeled data, and the fragility of working against DRM-protected streams and changing site code.
