    Grab the netflix-desktop package from the compholio PPA. Until the Chrome hack becomes easier to use, this is still the most reliable way I've found to watch it, sans-VM http://www.compholio.com/netfl...

    Netflix works fine on my Ubuntu desktop, and using Firefox; has done since last year. See Compholio.

  3. Re:How does android/chromeOS manage to get netflix by kermidge · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Netflix Comes To Linux Web Browsers Via 'Pipelight'

    Pipelight looks a handy bit of kit and a fine project.

    But I've been watching Netflix natively on my Ubuntu desktop just fine since last year. See Compholio.

    http://compholio.com/ or search on "netflix linux" or similar to cast a wider net.

    There are deb and rpm packages in 32- and 64-bit; you can subscribe to the ppa or compile as you choose. I don't know what distros this will work on as I've only used it on my host OS with Firefox. (I used to watch Netflix from within an XP vm using VirtualBox.)

    You don't have to miss Netflix anymore. Eventually it will get mainlined into Wine, but as of now, it works great.

    And now that Netflix under Wine works, we might have two options!
