Netflix not playing in Chromium is a Chromium problem, not a Linux problem. Don't blame Linux for Chrome and Netflix making the web a proprietary DRM shithole.

If you want Netflix in Linux it's as simple as installing the official Google Chrome browser.

And I really can't believe I have to explain this at Hacker News of all places (jesus christ), but this is the difference between Chromium and Chrome.

Those people defending HTML5 DRM really have a lot to answer for here. "It'll be fine" they say. Proof right fucking here that consumers are oblivious.
