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.

Agree completely. After the hoops required became too much for me to jump through, I first experienced a form of withdrawal, but then stopped craving all that shitty media and never looked back. I still watch a movie occasionally, but I'm very picky about what I give my time and attention to.
