One thing I've always found annoying when playing Netflix in Chrome on Linux/Ubuntu is if you hit ctrl+alt+shift+s to get into the debug menu, the available bitrates are always lower than what you see available when running Windows (for the exact same title). I figured that out when some movie I had started watching on Windows had a noticeable quality degradation when I later booted into Ubuntu to finish watching. But at least Netflix lets me watch videos in HD. Amazon Prime always plays in SD, citing some kind of HDCP violation, even though I'm using the closed-source Nvidia drivers and using a DisplayPort connection from my monitor to graphics card. It's obviously discriminating against Linux because if I boot into Windows I can play Prime videos in HD no problem.
