It seems all is well with Netflix on Chrome.
It would seem that logically, there is no need for an installer for Netflix, and you are right in assuming so. We have kept this installer because there are other dependencies eg. libnss3 that some people may have removed. libnss3 is already available by default in LL.

Important reminders:
This will only currently work in Chrome, there is no support for Firefox (untested in Chromium)
