After getting my brain tied in a knot getting Netflix to work , I did what Dolphin Oracle said to do.
I'm no fan of Google Chrome , but this made it almost too easy to do.
I'm running version 15 on a 64 bit system on which I added the 32 bit libs for other software.
I like to use synaptic , it's easy for me and newbies to work with.
I opened up synaptic , go to settings , repositories and hit the new button.
In the URI: field , copy this into it.
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/"
linktext was:"http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/"
====================================
In the distribution field , copy this into it.
stable
In the Section(s): field , copy this into it.
main
Then hit the OK button.
Hit the reload button on the main screen.
Do a searchbox for Google Chrome.
This will show google-chrome-stable which is version 48.0.2564.103-1.
That's it , chrome works natively with Neflix , almost too easy , but I tried other ways and got frustrated.
If I missed a step or forgot something , feel free to add your ideas.
There are other versions of Chrome , but I stick with stable releases on this particular machine.
Have fun and enjoy.
