[Discuss] Netflix and/or other streaming services on Linux?

Hi Alan,

I know you have your reasons for sticking to Mozilla Firefox.


Just an F.Y.I. for Netflix I am using the Google Chrome devel browser on 
Kubuntu 16.04.

The devel version comes as a 32 or 64 bit DEB from:

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html?platform=linux&extra=devchannel

Netflix works just fine with no need for Silverlight in that browser.

If you are worried about the 'Google-ness' of Chrome, the browser allows
users to turn off user data reporting, although I can't say any can be
seen if you watch the connection. Google appears to refrain from being 
evil with Chrome. ie: no other ports of streams other than requested web
pages.
