8 NetFlix now plays fine in Chrome, at least the unstable version. I use
9 no special flags
10 and get it directly from portage. No overlays, no license files. From
11 my POV it's as
12 open source as most other stuff but I haven't investigated that in any
13 depth. Yes, the
14 content is DRM'ed but with (I think) HTML5 support in a browser I no
15 longer need to
16 run a VM to watch movies. Just log in.
