This is another great example of the difference between Chromium (free and open source browser) and Chrome (proprietary, branded fork of Chromium). Amusingly, the previous workaround for running Netflix on Linux used Firefox (running under a patched version of Wine)[0], though it looks like Netflix is unlikely to come to Linux for Firefox in the near future[1] [0] http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ [1] At least until Netflix switches over to DRM-ed HTML5 video, and Firefox implements HTML5 DRM.

  The same thing has happened to the Firefox Nightly PPA, the builds stopped being made sometime early in August.
