linux: netflix without wine
it seems like just a few months ago that i found out about pipelight and today i stumbled upon this article: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTc1ODY
that’s really good news. of course i wish it would have happened like 7 years ago…but still good news. i most likely will not try it out until that particular chromium build comes out of beta.
update 12/21/2014:
correction, apparently native netflix support will not be coming to chromium. it is available in the official chrome build for linux though. i tested out chrome 39.x today (on ubuntu 14.10) and it works wonderfully even without the user agent switcher.
