I never understood the appeal of watching Netflix in a browser?

Why let DRM infect your browser? Why not use closed media services in dedicated, closed-source apps for such things and keep your browser clean?

To date I’ve honestly never seen anyone access Netflix through a browser. It’s all native apps.

What’s the appeal?

Not everyone has a TV. I used to watch Netflix on my laptop only - on Ubuntu.
