IMDb does not care about spoiling TV shows for you.

When you go to find out more about a TV show on IMDb, on the right hand side, at the very top of the page, you’ll find top rated episodes with summaries. HUGE spoilers. Even just seeing a name can be bad, when there are multiple seasons of a show.

Of course, when you browse a TV show’s actor list, it’ll show you exactly how many episodes that individual was in. So if there are 60 episodes, and an actor was only in 48 of them, there is a good chance that they get killed (or just removed from the show).

Yes, you can avoid IMDb, but I don’t want to do that. I found another Chrome extension that hides the actor list, but I didn’t find any that would hide the episode summaries, so I decided to use this as a learning experience to create a Chrome extension.

I just published the Chrome extension that I wrote, and you can check it out, and install it at Chrome’s Web Store. Spoiler-free IMDb. I probably should add some better screenshots.

I made the icon for the extension. The IMDb logo with a spoiler bar through it. Although my Chrome extension doesn’t use spoiler bars, it just removes the potential spoilers completely.

And finally, I learned that the site name is IMDb, and not IMDB. I’ve always typed that wrong.
