Netflix 4K streaming expansion to Google Chrome

Overview

Netflix has expanded its 4K Ultra HD streaming support to the Google Chrome web browser on Windows and Chromebook platforms. This feature, previously restricted to Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari, requires users to have a Netflix Premium subscription, Windows 11, and specific hardware including a 4K monitor with a 60 Hz refresh rate and HDCP 2.2 support.

While Chrome now enables 4K playback, it does not currently support HDR, a capability still exclusive to Microsoft Edge and the Netflix Windows application. Mac users must continue to utilize Safari for 4K resolution.
