Ubuntu | Watch Netflix on Linux

Hi everyone, i recently noticed that it’s possible to watch Netflix on Linux (Ubuntu 13+) and Chrome Beta.

I tried it and i love it. It’s even a lot faster than on my Windows OS or than on my Firefox with User-Agent-Switcher and Pipelight.

Below is everything you’ll need to go for it.

I sadly can’t offer a .deb installation file for libnss3.17 but if you have Ubuntu 14.04 you are fine anyway.

As soon as you have everything rightclick on the Agent Switcher in Chrome and click on Options.

Put in the following entry to get a special “Netflix” Agent (basically a Windows Chrome Agent).

Name: Netflix Chrome

String: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2114.2 Safari/537.36

Group: Filled in automatically

Flag: IE

Now enjoy Netflix on Linux :-)

Let me know if something is not working and i try to help.
