Googled an actor mid-binge and ruined the big twist
I wondered where the main actor was from, so I looked it up online. Bad move, I learned their character gets killed off later. I now have a browser add-on to block spoilers.

Ugh, I've done that so many times. It's like you can't even look up basic info without getting something ruined. What show were you binging when it happened? I'm curious if some shows are worse for spoilers online. Also, how's that browser add-on working out for you so far?

Has anyone noticed spoilers seem to hit hardest for those "talked-about-everywhere" limited series? I agree with @the_thomas on Marvel, but even a quiet drama can get ruined if it has one big moment that goes viral. That add-on only works on sites you visit, not the chatter in comment sections or video titles that pop up elsewhere. It feels like the only safe search is for shows that ended years ago, and even then you risk finding old forum posts.

@the_gray, my friend yelled a spoiler across the kitchen last week.

Totally feel you on that, @simon_ramirez94! I was deep into 'The Mandalorian' and just wanted to check an actor's name. Next thing I know, I see a HUGE plot twist about Grogu. Some shows are the WORST for spoilers, like anything from Marvel or Star Wars. The add-on helps a bit, but I still get spoiled on social media all the time. It's like you can't win unless you live under a rock.
