Netflix knows you hate those autoplaying previews.

The Lina Romaystreaming giant finally copped to that fact Thursday morning, acknowledging that the oft-reviled "feature" where a preview — with sound blasting — would start playing the moment you scroll your mouse over a show is not always welcomed. But Netflix did more than just admit reality— it also officially offered up a way to disable the feature.
