  • Netflix in Firefox in Linux =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=94?= still works

    I finally got around to testing Netflix in Firefox. It still works in Linux
    on my computer — at least with my Internet provider (Quantum Fiber). I'm not sure why this doesn't work for everyone.

    Then, I have no idea why it was refusing to load for me. It doesn't
    matter, I preferred Brave anyway.

    I just tried it now (I reinstalled Netflix, having emptied the previous iteration's cache and settings). It looks like it works as expected. It's
    hard to believe that it might have just been a cache issue.

    Khan Academy videos don't work in Brave even with the shields down. No
    problem with LibreWolf or Firefox.

    My brother is having trouble getting YouTube to work on his StarLink connection. It'll play the first 30 seconds of a video, then just shut off. He's tried other browsers (besides Firefox), same issue. But he's done something to "de-Google" his computers, so I'm guessing that's the issue.

    I'm happy you found the issue.
