Using Netflix without Silverlight - is that possible?

For a long time, you couldn't use Netflix without Silverlight. This practical tip will tell you whether you still need Silverlight for video streaming.

How to use Netflix without Silverlight

If you use one of the popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Edge or Internet Explorer, you can use Netflix without Silverlight.

• However, you will need a newer version of the browser for this. With Firefox, for example, you need at least version 42 and with Chrome, Netflix only runs from version 37 without Silverlight.
• If these basic requirements are met, you can watch the videos via Netflix's HTML 5 player.
