Likely limited to 1080p, like in Safari on iPad. Netflix artificially limits resolution and bitrate in most browsers, for no technical reason. See https://help.netflix.com/en/node/30081

    You say DRM, I say artificial limits for no technical reason. Tomayto, tomahto. :)

    But actually, it's not just DRM. Netflix limits Firefox to 720p, despite it being fully capable of playing Netflix's 1080 streams. Same with all browsers on Linux. You can trick it into playing 1080p in these "unsupported" browsers with plugins or user-agent spoofing.

    Or at least you could last year; it's a cat-and-mouse game and it became easier to just pirate stuff than try to un-break Netflix, so I haven't tried recently.
