      Phoronix: Netflix removed the outdated user-agent-string blocks they had in place. So any HTML5 compatible web browser should work without mucking with headers. Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, and CentOS are what's listed in the article, but I'd imagine just about any distribution should work now.

      Guess I have a reason to try out Korora on my laptop now, gotta test.

          That's 99% the reason I was using Chrome instead of Chromium or Firefox.
