How to prevent Netflix from showing preview trailers on the overview?

Question

Currently, whenever I look at the Netflix overview, it shows me trailers in the top of the page.

Also further down the page, between the category scrollers.

I find them disturbing and annoying, also sometimes they contain spoilers which I don't like.

Is there a way to disable them? Alternatively, is there a way to inject some JavaScript (maybe using a Chrome extension?), to hide them on the page?

Answer 1

For such tasks as removing stuff from sites, you can use Adblock Plus' future called Block element and then just select the exact element which you want to kill.

If Adblock Plus can't be used there is this extension which does the same.
