How on earth having an unknown, unsecure, unreviewed binary blob running on your computer be "the more secure method"? Compared to what?
But having a blob in the browser running in a sea of proprietary code (MacOS), I don't think it makes such a big difference.
"a more secure ... non-DRM video source" - more secure compared to what? What does security means to you?
If you are going to watch non-DRMed video, it's already as secure as it can get, all you need for the efficiency part is better codecs, think of VP9, or Daala.

More secure than Flash or Silverlight which are what I personally use today. VP9 and Daala are not, as far as I know, available for me to use when watching netflix.
