I canceled my Netflix. I have been re-watching some older shows like The Office. I liked Stranger Things - a pretty well done show. But all in all I have not been using it.
Up until recently I was able to watch Netflix on my Ubuntu laptop via some user agent switching trick I found, but that stopped working recently, so that's another thing that drove the decision.
Also I have a an Amazon Firestick so unfortunately if stuff is available there I'd end up watching it there since launching Netflix app was another extra step.
- jandrese 10y agoI watch Netflix on my Ubuntu laptop using Chrome. No user agent switching or anything. You have to use full up Chrome from Google's repo, not Chromium from the Ubuntu repo. Chromium doesn't have the DRM bits that Netflix needs. The other caveat is that Netflix hates my Hurricane Electric tunnel, so I have to sysctl off IPv6 when watching on the laptop. This is annoying but not Ubuntu's fault.
