Native Netflix Support Is Coming To Linux
sfcrazy writes: Native support for Netflix is coming to Linux, thanks to their move from Silverlight to HTML5, Mozilla and Google Chrome. Paul Adolph from Netflix proposed a solution to Ubuntu developers: "Netflix will play with Chrome stable in 14.02 if NSS version 3.16.2 or greater is installed. If this version is generally installed across 14.02, Netflix would be able to make a change so users would no longer have to hack their User-Agent to play." The newer version of NSS is set to go out with the next security update.
I'm outraged I can't watch Netflix on my Lynx browser!
When will it work in Seamonkey and Firefox; that is what I care about, Chrome's interface sucks! and I don't want to run two browsers.
I'm waiting on Lynx support using ASCII. Damn!
Some settling may occur during posting.
Yeah, Netflix should get their act together and stop showing shit movies like "The Elephant Man" and "There Will Be Blood". Comedies like "Grosse Pointe Blank" and "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"? Who would ever want to watch those? Netflix is absolutely useless unless they can show truly great movies like "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction".
Whenever the family wants to watch Netflix, I explain the implications that closed software has on a society and the problem is solved.
Yeah, and when the nun explains to the catholic schoolgirl the personal and societal implications that extramarital sex has she thinks the problem is solved too. Once your kids go to college, prepare yourself for their overcompensation for their restrictive childhood. You can visit them while they camp out in front of an Apple Store waiting for the launch of the next incarnation of an iPhone or iPad.
wget is still broken too... Bastards.
