Netflix works with EME on Chrome and Firefox. Netflix doesn't block Linux users. They just don't provide customer support for troubleshooting on Linux.

  > Netflix doesn't block Linux users. They don't block (anymore) they just offer a degraded experience, 720p resolution only. Piracy still offers a superior product.

    That's not degraded only for Linux. The 720p limitation in Chrome and Firefox is also there for Windows and Mac.

      Not Win10 + Edge or on ChromeOS. This is due to the level of obfuscation of the keys (hardware-assisted vs software only).

        I think we're splitting hairs here. The point cpeterso was trying to make is that while Netflix is a large company that advocated for EME, Netflix is also trying to cater to all audiences. And with their track record of open-sourceing lot she of their internal systems, I feel it's safe to say Netflix as a company isn't nearly as corrupt as some of the other advocates for EME.

          I wouldn't be so sure. As Netflix becomes a media giant (it's already bigger than many), they'll adopt their policy for DRM. If not, why don't you have less restrictions on "pure" Netflix Originals content ? We'll see in the coming months if the Originals mean higher quality on Linux or not. I wouldn't bet on it.

    Btw. while Netflix was first in supporting Linux, Amazon allows at least 1080p in chrome.
