I didn't want to go into details, but I think we actually get Netflix in 1080(p?) using either Firefox or Chrome, but Amazon Prime looks like 720p using Firefox.



If you know how let me know. There used to be an addon that mimic'd a header it was looking for but I think netflix fixed that loophole. Im not sure if there is a way to verify the info during playback anymore?

EDIT - From their website (https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23931):

Resolution Windows computers support streaming in the following browser resolutions:

    Google Chrome up to 720p

    Internet Explorer up to 1080p

    Microsoft Edge up to 4K*

    Mozilla Firefox up to 720p

    Opera up to 720p

    Windows 8 app up to 1080p

    Windows 10 app up to 4K*
