Netflix to block proxy access to content not available locally

I assume it meant streaming / watching shows via the Netflix website?

Well, at least I do on occasion. When the kids are watching Netflix cartoons on the living room TV, I can just open up Firefox and watch another show on my (Linux) PC.

I suspect most people won't use it, but I'm glad to have this option.

Firefox on Linux works with Netflix now? I though only Chrome worked on Linux due to the DRM Netflix uses.

I watch Netflix exclusively through their website — either on TV with my HTPC (Kodi with Chrome fullscreen) or on my computer. I don't own any devices that can run their Android or IOS apps.
