      Louis does like to rant, and often talks in circles

      The jist of it is that he has a $3k TV he bought to watch 4k content. Signed up for Netflix 4k. But he didn’t want to install a spybox that collects his data so he tried to run it through his PC in the browser. It looked like shit. And that’s when he learned that Netflix only supports 720p in the browser.

      If the free experience is better than the paid experience, the provider is fucking up and he doesn’t want to reward the provider with his money for fucking up.

        I believe on Windows you can use Edge to get better than HD.

            That’s some Web Environment Integrity BS without Web Environment Integrity. Can you get around it by spoofing your user agent in Firefox or Chromium?

              Apparently there are HD extensions to get you up to 1080p but I have no idea how they work. AFAIK your user agent will still say Chrome, since Edge is Chromium?

        Thank. I’ve dedicated time to listen to him before and he is usually right but extremely long winded.

        Couldn’t agree more with his take in this case. Had a similar experience with apple tv. Looks like shit in a pc by design.
