How can I watch Netflix in 1080p on Linux without Opera?

It's kinda odd that Opera is the only browser they mention, especially since Chrome has some extra DRM features on Chromebooks. One workaround could be to change your user agent string to mimic Safari or Opera, but I'm not sure how effective that would be since it really seems tied to the DRM layers that Netflix uses.

I saw the same info about Opera too, but I think it all comes down to DRM. It's possible Opera has some DRM advantages that make it work better for Netflix. If you're willing to try something outside of Firefox, you might also consider installing the Edge browser or maybe running a Windows virtual machine. I've heard people have had success with that, or even using Wine to run the Windows version of a browser.

Actually, Firefox has had support for streaming Netflix in 1080p since version 132, so you should be good to go! Make sure your Firefox is updated, and you might also need to check your DRM settings in the browser to ensure everything is configured properly.

Honestly, streaming 1080p in this day and age shouldn't be such a hassle. Netflix has some weird limitations. They get a lot of criticism around their streaming quality policies. Just to be clear, I'm not advocating for piracy, but it does allow for much more freedom in terms of viewing on various devices.
