I don't need chapters. Even when we used CDs, I didn't use them. How can I hide them?

To those who use them: why? What for? I either play a movie or I don't. What's it good for?

A lot of times, I re-watch films. It helps with starting a film from a specific point, or skipping a boring scene.

Another reason is that I often show my friends and family some cool stuuf from between the films, like recently, I showed a cousin Neo vs Smiths scene from Matrix Reloaded, and I didn't have to hunt for it.

Chapters make a lot of finding stuff easy.

Another use case can be, someone recorded a video of a family function and added scenes in post production for easy seeking.

Thx. That makes sense for you.

Skipping forward/back between scenes mostly. It's either that or the time skip, which works, but is more work and less accurate.

Can be handy for jumping around in something that doesn’t have thumbnails generated yet. But I agree, it’s a bit of an anachronism at this point.
