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