Chrome Receives Official Netflix Add-on

[dgstorm]

Chrome users can now use Netflix to watch their favorite movies. Netflix just released their newest 1.0 app for Chrome that allows you to watch Netflix on your Chrome using computer or Chromebook. Supposedly, it works very similarly to the way Netflix works on the PS3. Here's a quote from the SlashGear article with a few more details,

You can search for your favorite content, resume watching content where you left off and anything else you can do directly on the Netflix site. If you don’t have a Netflix account, you can get a free month of use to try it out. A few users in the comments have noted that the CR-48 Chromebook gets out of sync when paused, but catches up quickly.

Let everyone know in the forums what you think of it.

I have been a subscriber for over two years. Recently, I had to purchase another Win 7 copy to run on my HTPC in the living room because Netflix refuses to conjure up a version for Ubuntu. If they can get it on Chrome OS (and I am sure that there are more OS users than Ubuntu users), they can get us a copy. It is Microsoft which does not want to spare with the code. It is a shame. I have made myself an almost sole user of anything Linux because of Microsoft. They are cutting off their nose to spite their face.
