Netflix today announced that it will only work if you have these versions of Windows and these browsers
It’s likely that many of you enjoy video streaming platforms like Netflix from your mobile devices. But this is something that also extends to smart TVs or computers.
In these lines, we will focus on the famous Netflix platform, which many of you subscribe to. Netflix tries to make it as easy as possible for us to access its content from any device, operating system or platform. And that is exactly where the various official applications that the platform offers us come from.
But with all this and with this, in many cases, the fastest and easiest way to access our movies and series is through the browser. In this way we can access the web version of the Netflix service online by simply entering our credentials and start enjoying.
- Windows versions to be able to use Netflix
This is very common with the different platforms and applications we use on our computers, since their developers try to keep them updated and secure. Using certain online services with unsupported software is a big risk, for example, Netflix officials do not want to take it.
Therefore, as the platform tells us today on its official support site, in order to be able to watch Netflix content through the browser, it is necessary to have Windows 8, 10 or 11. We must bear in mind that millions of users still use Windows 7 on a daily or intermittent basis. In these cases, they will not be able to reproduce the content of the streaming platform.
- Browsers and their versions compatible with Netflix
Something similar happens when we prepare to use the web version of Netflix through our favorite web browser. There are certain versions in which the Netflix video streaming service does not work, which we will explain below. It is important to know here that the browser version we are going to use must have the appropriate plugins and web standards for this type of task.
This is something that affects both the functionality of the web version of Netflix and the security of content reproduction. That is why we leave you below a list of browsers and their compatible versions.
- Google Chrome: Netflix is supported on version 106, and supports a maximum resolution of 1080p.
- Microsoft Edge: Netflix is supported on browser version 118 or later. It has support up to 2160p.
- Mozilla Firefox. We can use this browser to watch Netflix starting from version 111 with a maximum quality of 1080p.
- Opera. In this case it is compatible with version 92 or later with a maximum resolution of 1080 pixels.
If we take these versions of operating systems and browsers into account, we will not face any problems when using the web version of Netflix.
