Netflix comes to Linux via Ubuntu and Chrome

[hatt]

Quote:
Ubuntu Linux users no longer need to employ arcane workarounds to watch Netflix on their computers.

Instead, they can just head to Netflix’s website through Google’s Chrome browser to start streaming. Netflix is supported in Chrome 37, which runs on up-to-date Ubuntu installations of 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS or later.

Sha weet. BTW linux is really just for servers.

Wait, I though it wasn't any good for servers because of all the bugs and vulnerabilities that take hours to patch after discovered? Don't you need Microsoft for that? I don't think Microsoft stuff has any of those problems.

Does it work with Chromium? Or only Google's special Chrome edition of the browser?

The article says NSS/EME is now included in the standard Ubuntu distribution.

Good question. I don't have streaming so I can't test it. I'm sure someone around here does.

I'd strongly disagree. Unless you absolutely need Windows for whatever reasoning, I find elementary OS superior for normal usage.

Just be grateful that you were warned about Linux and that there was someone looking out for you and the entire internet community.

With friends like Bill Gates, who needs enemies?
