      It’s true. Edge is the only browser with 4K support. They claim it’s due to improved HTML5 support, but who knows really. I suspect their content delivery network uses some kind of Microsoft proprietary compression or somesuch. I know old Netflix was Silverlight-based due to their DRM.

        They use an Edge-exclusive DRM for 4K video on the web. You can just download the Netflix app from the Microsoft Store instead.

          Installing an app also makes it able to collect much more information than constrained in a proper web browser.
