我相信我们大多数人都使用浏览器观看过Netflix的电影和连续剧。(Netflix)但是您是否注意到，即使使用最高质量的设置和带宽，Netflix在每个浏览器上的流式传输也不相同？在这篇文章中，如果您不使用商店中的应用程序，我们将找出在 PC 上观看Netflix的最佳浏览器。(Netflix)
为什么Netflix在不同的浏览器上流式传输不同？
从 Netflix 等服务流式传输( streamed from services like Netflix)的视频只有在具有完整安全性（即数字版权管理 (DRM)）的情况下才能以最高质量提供。(digital rights management (DRM).)当Netflix与FireStick和Netflix App for Windows等硬件一起使用时，它会得到照顾，但对于浏览器，情况并非总是如此。例如，Chrome使用Widevine，而Microsoft Edge使用基于硬件的DRM系统。网飞(Netflix)只有在另一端（在这种情况下为浏览器）确保内容不能被记录和上传到其他地方时，才会提供高质量的内容。
如何查找是否存在限制？
Widevine的问题在于，人们可以轻松地使用屏幕录制软件录制所有内容，然后将其上传到其他地方。您可以使用任何屏幕截图工具对其进行测试，( screenshot tool,)如果您能够以完整的视觉效果捕获它，那么无论您的帐户中的设置如何， Chrome上的任何(Chrome)Netflix流都不会具有最高质量。这是我在Chrome和Netflix上使用屏幕截图工具时发生的情况。
(Edge)在Chrome(Chrome)允许的情况下，Edge将所有内容变为黑色。由于Edge使用基于硬件的DRM，因此任何工具都难以录制，而在Google Chrome上，您也可以使用系统声音进行录制。但是，Chrome可以在(Chrome)Chromebook上流式传输高质量的内容，即 4K 和 1080P 。基线是浏览器可以利用计算机上可用的基于硬件的DRM。它将能够流式传输高质量的内容；否则会卡在 1280 X 720P
在 PC上观看Netflix的最佳浏览器(Netflix)
(Microsoft Edge)Windows PC上的Microsoft Edge 、 MacBook上的 Apple Safari浏览器和Chromebook上的谷歌Chrome使用基于硬件的DRM ，(DRM)因此可以以最佳质量流式传输内容。除了以杜比(Dolby)形式支持高质量音频外。
因此，如果您使用的是Windows 10 PC，Edge ( Chromium ) 是在 PC 上观看Netflix的最佳浏览器。但是，您还需要一些其他的东西。
- 支持 4K 的电视或显示器
- Intel 的第 7 代 Core CPU 或更新版本
- Windows 10 版本 1607 或更高版本
如果您的计算机满足上述条件， Windows Store中的Netflix应用程序也可以播放 4K。
这是否意味着您不能使用其他浏览器？
不，您始终可以使用其他浏览器，但质量与您在Microsoft Edge上获得的不同。他们将以有限的分辨率流式传输视频，并且音频质量可能达不到标准。随着越来越多的浏览器可以开始使用基于硬件的DRM，质量会越来越好。
以下是Netflix的官方列表：
- 谷歌浏览器
- 在 Windows、 Mac(Mac)和Linux上高达 720p
- 在 Chrome 操作系统上高达 1080p
- Microsoft Edge 高达 4K*
- Internet Explorer 高达 1080p
- Mozilla Firefox 高达 720p
- 高达 720p 的歌剧
- (Safari)在 macOS 10.10 到 10.15 上最高 1080p 的Safari
- (Safari)macOS 11.0 或更高版本上最高 4K 的Safari 。
* 4K 流媒体需要符合HDCP 2.2标准的连接到支持 4K 的显示器、英特尔第 7 代酷睿 CPU(Core CPU)和最新的 Windows 更新。请与您的系统制造商核实规格。
也就是说，最好使用可在所有平台上使用并提供最佳体验的Netflix应用程序。(Netflix)
Best Browser to Watch Netflix on Windows PC
I аm sure most of us have watched movies and series from Netflix using the browser. But have you noticed that even with the highest quality settings and bandwidth, Netflix does not stream the same on every browser? In this post, we will figure out which is the best browser to watch Netflix on PC if you are not using the application from the store.
Why Netflix streames differently on different browsers?
The videos streamed from services like Netflix, are only served in the highest quality if it is served with complete security i.e., digital rights management (DRM). When Netflix is used with hardware such as FireStick and Netflix App for Windows, it is taken care of, but with browsers, it is not always the case. As an example, Chrome uses Widevine, while Microsoft Edge uses hardware-based DRM systems. Netflix will only serve high-quality content if the other end i.e., in this case, the browser, makes sure the content cannot be recorded and uploaded elsewhere.
How to find if the limitation is there?
The problem with Widevine is that one can easily use a screen recording software to record everything, and then upload it somewhere else. You can test it using any screenshot tool, and if you are able to capture it with full visuals, and then whatever Netflix streams on Chrome will not be of the highest quality regardless of the settings in your account. Here is what happened when I used a screenshot tool on Chrome and Netflix.
Edge turns everything black while Chrome allows it. Since Edge uses hardware-based DRM, it makes it difficult for any tool to record, while on Google Chrome, you can record it with system sound as well. However, Chrome can stream high-quality i.e., 4K and 1080P on Chromebook. The baseline is that the browser can make use of hardware-based DRM available on the computer. it will able to stream high-quality content; else it will be stuck on 1280 X 720P
The best browser to watch Netflix on PC
Microsoft Edge on Windows PC, Apple’s Safari browser on MacBook and Google’s Chrome on Chromebook makes use of hardware-based DRM and hence can stream content in the best quality possible. Along with that support for high-quality audio in form Dolby.
So if you are on Windows 10 PC, Edge (Chromium) is the best browser to watch Netflix on PC. However, there are a few more things you need.
- TV or Monitor that is 4K capable
- Intel’s 7th gen Core CPU or Newer
- Windows 10 version 1607 or newer
The Netflix app from the Windows Store is also capable of 4K playback if your computer meets the above conditions.
Does that mean you cannot use another browser?
No, you can always use another browser, but the quality will not be the same as you get on Microsoft Edge. They will stream the video in a limited resolution, and the audio quality might not be up to the mark. As more and more browsers can start using hardware-based DRM, the quality will get better.
Here is the official list from Netflix:
- Google Chrome
- Up to 720p on Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Up to 1080p on Chrome OS
- Microsoft Edge up to 4K*
- Internet Explorer up to 1080p
- Mozilla Firefox up to 720p
- Opera up to 720p
- Safari up to 1080p on macOS 10.10 to 10.15
- Safari up to 4K on macOS 11.0 or later.
*Streaming in 4K requires an HDCP 2.2 compliant connection to a 4K capable display, Intel’s 7th generation Core CPU, and the latest Windows updates. Check with the manufacturer of your system to verify specifications.
That said, it is best to use the Netflix app, which is available on all platforms and delivers the best experience.
