The user agent hack goes along with a, typically manual, update of NSS to the required version.
My user agent on chrome:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.120 Safari/537.36
Hack user agent to enable netflix:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2114.2 Safari/537.36
Note that there in neither mention of NSS, nor mention of WHICH DISTRO.
It happens to be Fedora 20, which is READY to netflix out of the box (nss ver 3.17.0).... EXCEPT that they apparently are considering Ubunto to be the "consumer" distro that they need to ensure is supported.
Once they can ASSUME NSS >= 3.16.2, then no longer need to *blacklist* the *operating system*, and then the user agent hack is no longer needed.
Worth pointing out... "I can make a case here to lift the User-Agent filtering" -- it is not a "done deal". Just somebody AT netflix who wants to make it happen.
