I was pretty stoked to read earlier this month
that ChromeOS and Chrome/Chromium was getting a Netflix app in the
Chrome Webstore. I installed it earlier tonight, but sadly it's not working on Chrome or Chromium on Ubuntu. I installed it on my Cr-48, and it worked there. Reports on the page indicate that it's working on Chrome/Windows. But Chrome/Chromium on Linux -- no dice :-(
So the Netflix-on-Linux blues continue, unfortunately :-(
In looking for workarounds, I came across this web petition for Netflix-on-Linux support:
So I signed the petition and was impressed to see 16,518 other signatures!
In fact, I downloaded all of the
signatures and did a little (far from scientific) grepping of my own to see where Ubuntu stood among the other desktops in the signature list. Ubuntu lands at nearly 70%. Impressive!
