Google Chrome is not available for FreeBSD and Haiku. Also Chrome comes
with proprietary closed-source add-ons which is what Netflix uses for
the DRM. No idea if Google will ever support FreeBSD.

Chromium is available everywhere, but without those proprietary add-ons
it is useless for Netflix viewing. Surely HTML5 video must allow for
something else that doesn't require proprietary add-ons? At the moment I
just fire up my Win7 VM if I really need to watch on my desktop computer
- which is seldom really (alternatively I've got my Macbook Pro).
