Hi,

I'm wondering if there is another way to have Netflix operate on an old Mac? I understand that Silverlight which used to do the trick has ended it's support as of 2021. Is there an alternative or no deal?

Thanks!

The problem that you're likely to encounter is that Netflix's system requirements list relatively modern versions of available browsers as a minimum (see here). Take a look at that document and compare it against your options for browsers.

I'd temper your expectations and not expect the best here though. However, we can always pursue this one. What browser are you using and what version are you running and is it up to date?
