Hello!
The God-awful netflix-desktop hack uses Silverlight, Wine, and Windows Firefox all at once, so it IS doable, I suppose. Studying how IT pulls that off might be a start towards finding a solution.
Refusing to go there again, I keep a copy of the recently-discontinued Linux 32-bit version of Chrome around. I'm hoping that the Ubuntu community eventually gets a Netflix hack for Chromium like those available for Arch and Slackware...
