If you watch Netflix in Chrome or Firefox you may be wasting your money
If you are one of those users who like to be able to watch series and movies at the highest resolution possible, it is clear that you will have the most expensive memberships in each of the streaming services such as Netflix.
And, for example in our country, premium bread Netflix It costs 17.99 euros per month, and among other things it allows you to view content in Ultra HD.
However, as technology expert Daniel Kim warns, Netflix restricts video streaming quality in browsers such as Chrome and Firefox, for fear that people will pirate these programs and then spread them illegally.
This is due to the issue of digital rights management and protecting content against copying.
It should be noted that Chrome and Firefox have software-based DRM, but do not support hardware-based DRM.
And of course, if you are paying for the most expensive Netflix plan to watch content in Ultra HD, but you use browsers like Chrome or Firefox, you are viewing content at a lower resolution.
And Netflix reduces the quality of streaming in browsers to protect against illegal copies.
The only solution in this regard, is that you use other browsers such as Microsoft Edge or Safari, since quality is not restricted in them. So by using these two web browsers, you will be able to get the Ultra HD that you are paying for.
In any case, the majority of people who have the most expensive subscription to Netflix and other services tend to watch all the content on compatible televisions and less on a computer.
