I try not to think too much about how I mostly can not and likely will not see 1080p and higher content from my Linux desktop due to (a lack of) Chrome and DRM

- longitudinal93 3y agoWon't it display properly in VLC?
- notpushkin 3y agoAnd the offline watching works way better!
- jowea 3y agoHow would VLC connect to Netflix? Unless you're implying piracy.

- notpushkin 3y agoIf you're willing to run a blob for DRM support, you can get it running in any Chromium flavour. (I would rather prefer torrents, though.)

- Mindwipe 3y agoChrome for Linux is still 720p at best and I'd expect that to drop over time, not go up. Chrome isn't what's holding higher resolution Netflix back on Linux, it's the lack of a signed graphics driver by an authority that would revoke anything that didn't enforce the DRM and pushes the decryption to trusted hardware.
