Can't actually test this with my preferred browser: Netflix uses Microsoft Silverlight for some mysterious reason, which is not supported under Chrome, which is either the 1st or 2nd most popular browser on the Mac. Pretty shoddy. Get with it, Netflix and Microsoft.

You should be able to install Silverlight on chrome, I had it working in the past; http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/...

Are you certain? I watch Netflix with Chrome on my macbook pro pretty frequently. Although I do hope they ditch silverlight anyway.

  The new Safari in OS X Yosemite will use the new HTML 5 media extension stuff that allows streaming video directly without using Silverlight :-). Now we just need to get Chrome on board too!

    I just ran the test on Safari in Yosemite using HTML5. Looks great, but pegged my CPU.
