Netflix in Linux?

Netflix is based on silverlight (codec?) thing which is designed for windows. Well, if they don't bother to support linux, then I will not bother to use netflix. Here is a good alternative to netflix: the Google Chrome app Cracle.

It is easy to use and install. Do the following:

1. Install Google Chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html
2. Install the Chrome App Crackle: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ibfamoapbmmmlknoopmmfofgladlinic
3. If you connect anywhere outside of USA, movie & TV show selection is not great. So consider getting an highspeed USA proxy. Foxyproxy is the best one for the job I think: http://getfoxyproxy.org/
4. After getting it, set it up withing the Google Chrome. Do: Google Chrome setup -> under the hood
5. Enjoy!
