Netflix now works in Chrome on Linux.

  Which is a damn shame because only supporting Chrome is absurd. We've advanced so far, but now instead of "Works best in Internet Explorer 6 at 800x600" it's "Works in Chrome." The more things change the more they stay the same...

  Thats not really Netflix's fault though. Google Chrome (not Chromium) is the only browser on Linux that supports the DRM the TV/movie studios forced upon Netflix. With Windows Silverlight works in all browsers so they have access to the DRM.

    Right then, does Netflix stream it's own content, which doesn't have the evil studio's restrictions, in other browsers? Or does Netflix tout the need for "content protection"? DRM is fantastic business for Netflix as it creates a nice barrier to entry for competitors.
