When did Netflix not work under Ubuntu? I have never had an issue using Firefox.
- mackal 12y agoAlways. This is native Netflix without running any unofficial patches to WINE to get it working. Sadly only supports the closed Chrome since that's the only Linux browser that supports the neccesisary DRM. You've been able to get Netflix working by faking your user-agent to Windows with a new enpoug Chrome and NSS, but this is without the faking your user agent part.
- Raphael 12y agoWhen Netflix used Silverlight, which is for Windows. In Linux, to run Silverlight, you need to use Wine.
- jgalt212 12y agoThe karma bullies can keep downvoting this all they want, but I definitely have had Netflix running in a browser on an ubuntu box without any modification before this announcement. The only thing I can think of that may have affected my box vis a vis Netflix was the installation of VLC which installs some proprietary codecs (e.g. libdvdcss)
