Microsoft PlayReady DRM still the only way to play Netflix in 4K on a PC, correct? I guess there's no reason not to include Widevine as well, but it's funny how this means the new Microsoft Edge supports features no other Chromium-based browser is allowed to use, including Google Chrome. Getting rid of DRM in general is fine with me, but I don't understand why the focus on Widevine in particular given that its availability is relatively less restricted.

> Microsoft PlayReady DRM still the only way to play Netflix in 4K on a PC, correct? I believe so, yes. (The Win10 app is powered by PlayReady.) Mandatory link to the netflix-1080p hack, enabling 1080p Netflix playback on Chrome [0]. I don't think it does 4k though, and I believe it causes awful CPU loads.
