@smug Chromebook hardware tends to be utter garbage full of bugs unlike thinkpads that seem to have acceptable quality hardware, with bugs that have all been worked around in software.

Unfortunately, both chromium and firefox implement "EME", which means "widevine" handcuffing works out of the box in proprietary versions of firefox.

Of course, "netflix" will show only a 720p or 1080p stream when it thinks that the handcuffs aren't constricting enough, so you shouldn't use "netflix" - you should download the video with transmission or another free torrent client and play it in full quality with VLC or mpv.
