I already get 1080p on Netflix in Firefox on Linux.

However, Amazon Prime on the same setup gets me 720p at most. (This is a regression because I _know_ I used to watch the first few seasons of The Expanse in 1080.)

Which add-ons allow you to watch Prime in 1080p on Linux? I wasn't able to find them.

Same experience here, Netflix works without too much hassle, but Prime is limited to a much lower bitrate than on Windows.

At one point I experimented a bit with making an addon myself, and it's possible to intercept the requests and spoof the UA/platform to get URLs for the HD streams, but then it goes to VMP/widevine and is a bit beyond my abilities. Best I could get was for the HD quality option to appear in the UI, but with a complaint that it wouldn't work because I needed to update or use a different browser.

Now pretty much the only time I use Prime video is for the occasional watchparty, and I'll just pirate the stuff I want to see in HD.
