   #Netflix now works on Google Chrome in Linux natively. No more Wine and 12 dependencies to get it to work :)

     @aqeel Yes, though I’m not sure why, since both use the same version of NSS. So on Arch google-chrome works, chromium doesn’t

     I tried this over the weekend, and was generally happy. I wish it worked in Chromium, but it does not seem to.

     @steve Reading between the lines, Google struck a deal so Netflix (and presumably other similar services) could work natively on its Chromebooks. So it’s not only the updated nss library, it’s the addition of EME to Chrome’s code (but not Chromium’s). The “good” news is EME is coming to Firefox.

     @steve @encycl I know that #Iceweasel ( #Debian derivs ) and #Palemoon ( #Windows ) will both refuse to implement EME (a/k/a #TUR “technological use restrictions” or #DRM) in their #Firefox based browsers. I’m seriously starting to have trust issues with #Mozilla over this and the ads coming to the ‘new tab’ page.

     @lnxw48 my compromise, since I live in both worlds, is Chrome is my “compromised” browser where I use Google Talk, Facebook, Twitter, and now Netflix. I don’t do any random browsing on it at all. Separately, I use iceweasel or midori or uzbl for FLOSS sites and browsing. I also use CLI clients for all of the above as much as possible to further obfuscate my data.

     Can you please send more specific information? A link would be helpful explaining the back-story on this.
