Ubuntu receives updated Netflix User Agent & HTML5 to watch Streams in Chrome

Canonical and Netflix developers officially announces that now Ubuntu users will be able to watch Netflix videos directly on their Google Chrome web browser after updating user agent of Netflix. Well you know that Netflix user agent allows you to get information about which operating systems are connected to its service along with what browser.
Few days ago, the Netflix developers and Ubuntu developers resolved the issue of hacked Netflix. This issue was resolved by updating one of their library along with Netflix update. The updated user agent of Netflix allows Ubuntu and Linux users to watch Netflix videos on their native Google Chrome browser and choosing HTML5 option.
Currently, the user agent of Netflix is natively supported by Google Chrome browser whereas other browser still faces the issues of Netflix hack while playing videos. The only reason behind it is that Chromium doesn't include any DRM (Digital Rights Management) support whereas Firefox supports DRM which is not ready yet. This technology embedded in the browser allows its content provider to protect the stream. You might also like to check out other latest Software News on our website.
