Netflix 1080p is a new browser extension for Google Chrome and Firefox (a fork). It should work in other browsers that support Chrome's extensions system.

The extension enables support for 1080p on Netflix in the browsers. Netflix customers can use Chrome or Firefox, on any supported operating system, to watch streams in 1080p using those browsers.

This overrides Netflix's -- seemingly artifical -- streaming quality limitation. The extension is especially useful for Linux users as it unlocks 1080p video streams on Netflix on Linux machines since that is not supported officially by Netflix.

    I don't watch netflix but the "seemingly artificial" thing is stupid, of course they impose arbitrary limits. Netflix is a stupid company where stupid investors [investopedia.com] expect stupid customers to pay for stupid social justice propaganda. [wikipedia.org]

    There's your comment.

        Who wants to bet that this guy who needs a Safe-Space from "offensive" white-people jokes loves to call others "SJWs."

        Ahh Deathmonkey. Marc Randolph [businessinsider.com] is the nephew of Edward Bernays [theconversation.com] who was the nephew of Sigmund Freud. If you still think you're discussing a comedy show, the joke is on you! Do you remember when the left used to care about things like this?

            Funny, I wasn't going to mention it but how is the Russian collusion narrative working out for you?
