MODERATORS
Welcome to the conversation.
Not to be snarky, but welcome to the true frustrations against corporations. They view linux users (like you now) as pirating monsters, and in their eyes giving us even 1080 means that they're giving their content over to pirates. Which is ironic because I think that sort of behavior encourages pirating.
So it's nothing you did, nothing is broken, it's functioning as Netflix wants it to. It'll be the same with all of the other providers.
YouTube can do 8K HDR on Linux if you have the hardware. This isn't a DRM issue for once.
OP is talking about YouTube and I can watch 8KUHD just fine on Linux.
youtube.com/tv is/was the YouTube website optimized for big screens. It's basically just a different layout for regular YouTube.
Youtube TV though acts in the same way, I don't believe they allow anything > 720
Does changing the user agent work?
Pretending to be Chrome on Windows seems easy enough
Yes, there's an addon for Firefox that gives you Netflix 1080p without any downsides, probably just by changing the user agent for Netflix.
Really shows how utterly useless the restrictions are.
