You misread the README. Although it suggests using Edge at the very bottom, the extension doesn't require it and actually spoofs Netflix into thinking it is Edge via changing the user-agent.
- hug 9mo agoDid I, though? I understand it spoofs all of the checks it can, but the only Chromium browser that supports Widevine L1 (a requirement for 4K) is Edge, so even if all of the check spoofing works, it still won't do 4K. There's even a table in the README that describes this exact scenario.
- ctippett 9mo agoI'm putting a lot of weight on this part from the README: > If you're paying for 4K but using Chrome, Firefox, or a setup Netflix doesn't "approve," you're stuck at 1080p or lower. This extension fixes that. But I get the confusion though. I'm now second-guessing if I misread the README.
- hug 9mo agoIt's this section that puts the lie to the entire project: https://github.com/Pickle-Pixel/netflix-force-4k?tab=readme-ov-file#hardware-drm-widevine-l1 https://github.com/Pickle-Pixel/netflix-force-4k?tab=readme-... It appears to only be useful on Edge on Windows.
